Corporate Carveout Division
We are a reliable acquirer of non-strategic business units for large corporates.
We represent a professional and silent transition.
We pay fair prices, communicate professionally with all stakeholders and thus create tranquility and reliability.
At the same time, we do not shy away from challenging situations with complex carve-out requirements and/or loss-making financial results.
With decades of experience in the carve-out business, we routinely execute carve-outs of non-strategic business units from large corporations.
Cooperative and solution-oriented dealings with employee representatives (works councils and trade unions), as well as customers, suppliers and financing partners - even in challenging situations - is our daily business!
We actively support the seller as well as the local management with our in-house team of operational carve-out experts in all aspects of the divestment.
We set up the necessary organizational structures to accomplish a thorough emancipation from the parent company in the shortest possible time. In doing so, we not only have the know-how to implement complex IT carve-outs, but we are also able to establish all central functions such as marketing, sales, HR, legal, finance, etc.), "from scratch".
With our broad industry network, we actively support the newly created SME in optimizing its long-term strategic positioning, optimizing all business processes ("Operational Excellence") as well as creating a proper corporate culture.
