In this case study, an international ingredients company engaged CPL Business Consultants to support due diligence for an acquisition of a baker’s yeast company in the United States. The client successfully completed the acquisition and is one of the leading players in baker’s yeast.
CPL overviewed the current situation, recent trends and views of the near future of the baker’s yeast business in the United States in order to support the acquisition process. In particular, the due diligence study focussed on assessing the volume, price and competitive situation. We also profiled the major players, determining their position in the market and their strategies.
CPL conducted the due diligence study within a compressed timescale, for example, through direct contact with participants in yeast and related businesses. CPL obtained authentic insights, views and opinions through its extensive networks in ingredients. We also obtained additional information through desk-based research, particularly quantitative information on trends and future outlooks.
