Capital Corp Merchant Banking Structures $56 Million MBO of European Machining Leader
The management of a leading Germany-based machine tools manufacturer will be buying out the company from its founder and investing as well to further growth. This is not only expected to strengthen the leader but also increase production and efficiency, as the European machine tools industry recovers and grows following the financial crisis.
Orlando, FL. (PRWEB) August 23, 2012
Capital Corp Merchant Banking has come on board to create the financing structure for the acquisition of a European machining company by its management (known as Management Buy-Out, or MBO) in the amount of USD $56 million. The MBO is geared towards one of Europe’s leaders in machining facilities for gray and ductile iron, steel, aluminum, and magnesium components. The company, based in Germany, is particularly lucrative, having nearly tripled its sales revenue in the last decade alone. It is in fact a favored supplier for some major automakers, among numerous others.
The world machine tools industry is sensitive to changes in the economic and financial climate.
Demand responses to economic ups and downs are typically amplified in this industry highlighting the level of sensitivity to the broader economy. Thus, not surprisingly, the machine tools industry confronted its toughest challenge when the financial crisis induced world economic recession. However, according to a new report by Global Industry Analysts, with the recession now at its tail end, resurgence in growth fundamentals will aid in steady recovery in the upcoming years. The sheer diversity of application areas for machine tools ranging from aerospace, automobiles, process industries, wind power generation to mining, and oil exploration industries,
will help ensure a quick recovery. Improving economic conditions will unleash pent-up demand as hitherto
postponed purchase decisions resurge to provide commercial opportunities. To this day, Europe and Asia-
Pacific account for the lion’s share of the global machining market.
Says Marktin Kapp, President of CECIMO, Europe’s association of the machine tools industry, “Europe has
been developing its machinery base for many generations and now this high value-added industry with its
knowledge-intensive skilled workforce is a backbone of modern European economy.”
