In this case study, an international ingredients company engaged CPL Consultants to formulate a growth strategy and find suitable acquisitions in rare sugars and carbohydrate fine chemicals.
The objectives of this project were first to describe the carbohydrate chemicals sector (e.g. rare sugars) within fine chemicals; and, secondly, to identify companies that might be acquisition candidates within this business.
One possible route for the client to grow more rapidly and with less exposure to the risk of failure of novel drugs would be to acquire a company with a range of products and customers that were complementary to those of the client.
Data were obtained from public and private sources supplemented by direct contacts with companies and knowledgeable individuals.
In each market sector, we assessed the volume and value, split by product, technology, target sector or geography, and trends. CPL obtained a range of estimates, which varied according to the definitions used in the chemicals industry. Rarely did two observers use the same term for the same thing.
Following this, a number of companies in the carbohydrate chemicals business were identified and a preliminary evaluation was conducted by a non-parametric method.
