“I am very happy to launch our common roadmap after many fruitful discussions in recent months, which have created a relationship of trust with Thierry Herbreteau and his team. After leading our family business into a new era and focusing all our energy on the highest quality standards and certifications, this is the strategic step into the future.”

Challenges
Identify relevant targets that fit Peters Surgical’s strategic objective. Remove roadblocks on the seller’s side that have delayed the transaction. Solve intercultural challenges between a PE-backed international player and German sellers.
Results
Successful transaction by bridging cultural gaps while maintaining the transaction momentum and trust between the parties. End-to-end support of the entire transaction process from origination and qualification up to accompanying due diligence and negotiations.
