Project EAST

Description
As part of the EAST project, Edelweiss supported the owner of a company specializing in printed circuit boards and assemblies with succession planning. Since an MBO/MBI solution was out of the question, the goal was to find a strategic buyer who would take over the company with around 60 employees and an annual turnover of around 6 million euros. The company, with over 40 years of experience in its industry, was to be continued in a sustainable manner so that both the employees and the customer base were retained. Edelweiss succeeded in involving one of the largest European printed circuit board companies in the transaction process and winning several investment companies with corresponding platform companies for the project and accompanying them in the negotiations.
Quote from the management of Edelweiss:
“Project EAST was a challenging task that enabled us to demonstrate our deep understanding of the technology market and our ability to manage complex transactions. The successful involvement of a leading European company and several investment companies in the bidding process confirms our competence in the industry.”
Approach
Edelweiss took a targeted approach by integrating strategic and financial buyers who had both the technical expertise and the financial resources to successfully continue the company into the process. This approach ensured a careful selection of bidders who not only appreciate the value of the company but also ensure its sustainable future.
