In this case study, CPL Business Consultants reviewed the natural extracts and preservatives market, e.g. for meat curing, and conducted a Voice of Customer survey. The information gathered was then used in due diligence for a potential acquisition.
Objective
This study supported a client during commercial due diligence for a natural extracts and preservatives ingredients company by providing insights into the products, markets and customers.
Method
The main contents of the study were based on sources including in-house databases and an extensive network of contacts in addition to the publicly available information. Additionally, information was sought from other key resources within the natural extracts and preservatives industry in sufficient depth to provide accurate analysis and guidance.
CPL used its extensive proprietary network of contacts to elicit information that would be difficult or impossible for clients to obtain independently Interviews were conducted with those knowledgeable in the industry, both face-to-face and web conversations. CPL also made contacts at trade shows.
The report consisted of a summary report followed by a reference report. These provided the essence of CPL’s findings and our recommendations, and also detailed data sources and analysis, respectively.
