De Brauw Blackstone recently acted as lead counsel to ​TenCate in its acquisition of Amber Composites Limited, a UK-based manufacturer of thermoset materials for the industrial and automotive market.

The major portion of the global composite market consists of thermoset materials. The activities of TenCate in this market are mainly focused on aerospace, space and radome applications and concentrated in the United States of America. As a result of this acquisition, TenCate will increase its presence in the market for industrial and automotive composites, tooling materials and in the aerospace market in Europe, with both thermoset and thermoplastic composites.
