Example Projects include:
Thermochromic Inks
TCI conducted due diligence for a proposed acquisition by an international client. The target company manufactures and sells thermochromic pigments. We reported on the target’s technology-base, competing offerings, and market potential. Finally, TCI developed an overall valuation of the technology and offered a recommendation regarding this opportunity.
Biopharmaceutical Facility Sale
TCI assisted Glaxo Wellcome Biofarma (GWB) in the sale of its biopharmaceutical facility in Porriño, Spain. Although the primary objective was to safeguard jobs and secure the site as a biotech manufacturing facility, GWB received a very attractive purchase offer for the property, which also met the primary objectives and was close to the valuation placed on the plant by TCI.
Electroplating Additives
A European client was approached with a possible opportunity to enter the electroplating additives business via acquisition of several small market participants. To correctly consider these opportunities, they needed a better understanding of the electroplating additives business. The primary finding of TCI’s research was that, while the potential acquisitions and participation in the electroplating additives business met some of their strategic objectives, it failed to satisfy at least two key criteria. TCI suggested that the client consider acquisition of a much larger target as an approach most likely to provide it with a leadership role in the business.
Biocides and Cosmetic Ingredients
TCI’s client manufactures a line of specialty biocides and cosmetic ingredients in North America. To meet their strategic objective of doubling sales in these specialty chemical product lines over the next two years, they commissioned TCI to assist in an acquisition effort restricted to Europe and Asia. From an initial list of over 100 candidates, ten target companies - four in Asia and six in Europe - were identified as meeting the client’s strategic objectives.
