In this case study, CPL Business Consultants assisted with the due diligence for a potential bolt-on acquisition in animal feed additives.
Objective
The objective of this project was to assist a Private Equity client in answering key questions regarding the potential synergies between an animal feed additive and premix company and one of its portfolio companies as part of a due diligence process. CPL also supported the process with technical and commercial input (e.g. in management meetings). Additionally, CPL facilitated a workshop which included a technical brainstorming session exploring possible product synergies.
CPL was able to bring detailed and authentic insight, based on its knowledge, experience and extensive networks, and as a result the Client fully understood the target company and its product portfolio, and was able to assess its value and potential with confidence.
