A $65-million manufacturer of food-preparation and packaging products wanted to redeploy its assets from durable food preparation products to disposable packaging products, in order to take advantage of recent market trends and increase growth. Kinsella Group was engaged to help execute this new strategy through an acquisition. Kinsella Group identified 97 acquisition suspects which were further narrowed down to 39 active prospects. None of these companies were for sale prior to Kinsella Group’s contact. Within six months, the client had entered into discussions with three of these prospects and ultimately acquired a profitable competitor. Total time from initial engagement to transaction close was nine months.
