Grow by acquisition instead of building it yourself
Strengthen a division, enter a new market, add a technology or customer base. Sometimes an acquisition is the faster and safer route than organic build-up. We find and negotiate the right target for you.
Buy or build?
Building from your own resources takes years and ties up capacity, with an uncertain outcome. A targeted acquisition brings market share, expertise and established teams into the house immediately. The art lies in not opportunistically buying the first thing available, but the target that precisely complements your strategy.
We develop a clear search profile with you, identify suitable targets in a structured way, especially internationally, and approach them confidentially. Where value is created or lost in an acquisition, we know from numerous transactions.
Acquisition strategy & search profile
What exactly should the acquisition achieve? We translate your growth goals into a precise target profile rather than reacting opportunistically.
Target screening
Tailored target lists including financial metrics and an initial valuation, particularly valuable for international search profiles.
Outreach & execution
Confidential outreach, letter of intent, due diligence and negotiation through to completion, with the experience of numerous transactions at your side.
Melitta / Cofresco, Europe-wide target search
As part of the strategy programme “Melitta 2020”, the goal was the targeted strengthening of a division, not through organic build-up but through acquisition. Based on the jointly developed acquisition strategy, we conducted a Europe-wide search for suitable target companies and evaluated the relevant candidates.
