M&A
Cross-Border
M&A
Transaction capability connecting Central & Eastern European industrial assets with international outcomes — originated locally, structured and closed to institutional standards, across 10 jurisdictions since 2005.
Practice Areas
What We Execute
Buy-Side
Proprietary acquisition opportunities sourced through our CEE origination network — originated, evaluated, and executed end-to-end on behalf of the holding and its capital partners. Twenty buy-side transactions completed to date.
Sell-Side
Where portfolio holdings reach the right point of transition, we prepare businesses strategically and access international buyers — in Western Europe, North America, the Gulf, and Asia — realising the value built over years of ownership. Applied selectively, not as a standing advisory service.
Corporate Development
Acquisition strategy, market expansion, and strategic transactions for the holding and its portfolio companies — from bolt-on acquisitions to platform builds across seven sectors.
