Sale of a Plastic Extrusion Manufacturer
CIGP successfully advised the shareholders on their exit strategy, by engaging in a sale to an Italian private equity firm. CIGP leveraged its expertise in financial advisory and its strong connections with financial and strategic investors.
Transaction Highlights
CIGP acted as the exclusive sell-side financial advisor to the shareholders of a leading Italian plastic processing group, on the sale of a 75% stake in its plastic extrusion business, to an Italian private equity firm focused on middle market transactions.
The target company is an Italian specialist manufacturer of polymer pipes and coils for fuel lines, airbrakes, and cooling systems for major tier-1 suppliers to the automotive and industrial sectors.
As part of the shareholders’ exit plan, CIGP structured a majority stake sale combined with an earn-out to optimally realise the shareholders’ stakes in the business.
