In this case study, a private equity firm engaged CPL Business Consultants to conduct technical due diligence on an animal feed additives company specialising in mycotoxin detoxifiers. CPL’s experienced specialist team conducted a comprehensive assessment of the target’s portfolio and R&D capabilities as well as the competitive landscape. The final report included an evaluation of the target’s R&D facilities, trials data, and market positioning.

The objective of this study was to assist our client in its due diligence of a potential acquisition target producing animal feed additives, particularly mycotoxin detoxifiers. This included evaluating the impact of the expiration of a patent held by the target company.

Firstly, CPL reviewed the candidate’s portfolio of products, which included evaluating its market positioning and ability to capitalise on current trends and drivers in animal nutrition. CPL also investigated the candidate’s R&D capabilities, including the product pipeline detailed evaluations of product trials data.

CPL then investigated the potential impacts of a product patent expiring by evaluating its importance and possible actions that competitors might take.

Furthermore, CPL interviewed a key contact from the acquisition target company, gathering valuable information to support the other research carried out. This provided further insights into the company’s current products, pipeline and marketing strategy.
