Niederer Kraft Frey (NKF) advised TEC Group Swiss on its acquisition of Transcendance, a watchmaking decoration company. The transaction represents the second build-up acquisition completed by TEC Group Swiss since Sienna Private Equity (SPE) invested in the company alongside its founder and CEO, Arnaud Faivre.
