Case study Wholesale

Succession plan in wholesale through two strategic buyers

A regionally active wholesale company with two business divisions was no longer able to maintain its old market dominance due to the incurable illness of its managing partner. The CEO was replaced at short notice by an interim manager selected by the project team, who stabilized the company.

As no successor from the family was available, the sales process began. After nine months, this process led to two successful transactions with two strategic buyers, each including a long-term lease agreement, and thus to the continuation of the life's work.

Case study Cosmetics

Value-adding sale of the production of a branded goods manufacturer

To increase the value of a manufacturer of cosmetic products, the internal value creation should be concentrated on the areas of branding, product development and sales. For production, a buyer had to be found who would take over all employees and the production facilities at the Swabian location. A long-term supply contract had to be negotiated as well.

The project team specified the transaction options, including extensive calculations of the respective value contribution, and approached several relevant prospective buyers in an international process. One year after the project start, the sale of the production and the closing of a favorable five-year supply contract were achieved.
