Munich, January 14, 2026 <\/span><\/b>\u2013 Mutares SE & Co. KGaA (ISIN: <\/span>DE000A2NB650<\/span><\/a><\/span>) has successfully completed the sale of its majority stake in LiBCycle, an inTime Group company, to Reverse Logistics Group (\u201cRLG\u201d). LiBCycle offers an all-in-one solution for the logistics of defective lithium-ion batteries and generated EUR 4.1 million in annual revenues in 2025. RLG, as an expert in the circular economy, will continue to develop the company within its broader portfolio. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

LiBCycle combines specialized transportation, storage and hazardous waste handling and operates over 30 active cross-docking facilities across key European markets. Its customer base includes leading OEMs and battery recyclers, positioning LiBCycle as a key enabler of the rapidly growing European battery circular economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As part of the transaction, Mutares divested its 51% majority stake in the company. The founders remain shareholders with 49% and, together with RLG, will lead LiBCycle into its next phase of growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Johannes Laumann, CIO of Mutares SE & Co. KGaA, comments: \u201cLiBCycle is an excellent example of building a scalable and profitable platform business in a strategically important future market. We wish LiBCycle and RLG every success in the next stage of development.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
