Das Livingstone Industrie-Sektorteam hat die Ver\u00e4u\u00dferung des privaten spanischen Polymerfarbstoff- und Additivherstellers IQAP Masterbatch Group, S.L. an PolyOne Corporation, einen weltweit f\u00fchrenden Polymerspezialisten, beraten.<\/strong><\/p>

\u00dcber die Einzelheiten der Transaktion wurde Stillschweigen vereinbart. IQAP wurde 1979 von Xavier Rovira gegr\u00fcndet und verfolgte von Anfang an eine durch F&E sowie Innovationen getriebene Wachstumsstrategie.<\/p>

Das Angebot des Unternehmens umfasst eine breite Palette von Polymerfarbstoffen und Additiven mit vielf\u00e4ltigen industriellen Applikationen. IQAP hat zwei Produktionsstandorte in Ibi (Alicante) und Vic (Barcelona). Zudem unterh\u00e4lt das Unternehmen ein Laboratorium und einen Vertriebsstandort in Navarra (Spanien) und weitere Produktionskapazit\u00e4ten in Tschechien.<\/p>

Die \u00dcbernahme von IQAP durch PolyOne ist strategisch motiviert. Das Unternehmen investiert gezielt, um zu wachsen, und bedient ein breites Spektrum von Kundensegmenten weltweit durch ein Zusammenspiel von Kooperation, Innovation und einen extrem hohen Qualit\u00e4tsanspruch.<\/p>

Robert M. Patterson, Pr\u00e4sident und CEO von PolyOne<\/strong>, sagte: \u201eIQAP ist eine gro\u00dfartige Erg\u00e4nzung zu unserer langj\u00e4hrigen und immer wachsenden Innovationskompetenz im Bereich der Farbstoffe und Additive. Die Kundenm\u00e4rkte von IQAP decken sich optimal mit Kernbereichen von PolyOne. Zusammen werden wir unseren europ\u00e4ischen Kunden noch bessere M\u00f6glichkeiten bieten, um die ihnen gestellten Anforderungen hinsichtlich Design, Funktionalit\u00e4t und Leistungsf\u00e4higkeit durch eine gesteigerte Wertsch\u00f6pfung gerecht zu werden.\u201c<\/em><\/p>

Xavier Rovira, der Gr\u00fcnder von IQAP<\/strong>, kommentierte: \u201eIch freue mich f\u00fcr die Kunden und Angestellten von IQAP. Die Transaktion er\u00f6ffnet neue Zukunfts- und Wachstumsperspektiven f\u00fcr sie als Teil der globalen PolyOne-Familie. Wir haben viele potentielle Erwerber in Betracht gezogen und PolyOne war die eindeutige Wahl wegen der hohen \u00dcbereinstimmung mit unserer Vision und unseren Idealen, vor allem was Innovation und Kundenservice angeht.\u201c \u201eIch kenne Neil Collen seit vielen Jahren und habe keinen Moment lang an der F\u00e4higkeit seines Teams bei der Suche nach einem neuen Eigent\u00fcmer f\u00fcr IQAP und unserer Unterst\u00fctzung im Verkaufsprozess gezweifelt,\u201c<\/em> <\/strong>f\u00fcgte er hinzu. \u201eDas Livingstone-Team hat bewiesen, dass sie eine komplexe grenz\u00fcberschreitende Transaktion mit zahlreichen nationalen und internationalen Kaufinteressenten und deren Beratern managen k\u00f6nnen. Mit ihren L\u00f6sungen haben sie einen erfolgreichen Abschluss herbeigef\u00fchrt und ein attraktives Ergebnis f\u00fcr alle Beteiligten erzielt. Ihr Erfahrungsschatz, Engagement und ihre Professionalit\u00e4t waren ausschlaggebend f\u00fcr den Erfolg.\u201c<\/em><\/p>

Neil Collen<\/strong><\/a>, Partner bei Livingstone<\/strong>, sagte: \u201eWir haben sehr gerne mit Xavier, seinem Team und diesem hoch innovativen Unternehmen gearbeitet. Xavier hat den richtigen Moment f\u00fcr die strategische Partnersuche erkannt, um auch die zuk\u00fcnftige Weiterentwicklung seines Unternehmens sicherzustellen und allen Mitarbeitern und Mitstreitern neue M\u00f6glichkeiten zu bieten.\u201c<\/em><\/p>

Jorge Tu\u00f1i,<\/strong><\/a> Associate Director bei Livingstone<\/strong>, f\u00fcgte hinzu: \u201eEs war eine gro\u00dfartige Erfahrung, IQAP in dieser Transaktion zur Seite zu stehen. Es ist ein au\u00dfergew\u00f6hnliches Unternehmen und wir freuen uns, dass der Erwerber eines der f\u00fchrenden Chemieunternehmen der Welt ist. Diese \u00dcbernahme zeugt aber auch von der Erholung des spanischen M&A-Marktes und vom zunehmenden Interesse strategischer Investoren aus den USA an spanischen Targetunternehmen in der Chemiebranche.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":3329,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"client-type":[],"region":[],"sector":[],"service":[],"transaction-type":[],"class_list":["post-10556","transaction","type-transaction","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"team_members":[1328,1348],"date":"20180102","client_type":43,"type":[1047],"region":[382,385,1185],"services":[441],"sectors":[694],"related_transactions":[10552,10548,9834,10511,10419],"related_testimonials":[49320],"contacts":""},"yoast_head":"\nLivingstone
