El equipo de Livingstone especializado en el sector Industrial se alegra de poder comunicar la compra de <\/strong>Keraben Grupo, S.A.<\/strong><\/a> por el inversor norteamericano <\/strong>Tensile Capital Management LLC<\/strong><\/a>. Livingstone actu\u00f3 en calidad de asesor financiero en un proceso muy complejo de reestructuraci\u00f3n de deuda y entrada de capital. Los t\u00e9rminos de la operaci\u00f3n no se han hecho p\u00fablicos.<\/strong><\/p>

Con sede en Nules (Castell\u00f3n) y propiedad de la familia Benavent que la dirige, Keraben se dedica fundamentalmente al dise\u00f1o, fabricaci\u00f3n y distribuci\u00f3n de pavimentos y revestimientos cer\u00e1micos de uso residencial. Con una capacidad productiva de entre 9 y 9,5 millones de metros cuadrados al a\u00f1o, Keraben es uno de los grandes actores internacionales de la producci\u00f3n de cer\u00e1mica de alta calidad en un mercado donde Espa\u00f1a figura entre los cinco pa\u00edses m\u00e1s importantes de la industria global. En 2013, Keraben tuvo una facturaci\u00f3n consolidada de 100 millones de euros.<\/p>

Establecido en San Francisco, California, Tensile es un fondo inversor especializado en inversiones a largo plazo en empresas privadas y cotizadas. Tensile invierte en negocios de calidad, dirigidos por grandes equipos directivos para ayudarles en sus planes de desarrollo estrat\u00e9gico, ofreci\u00e9ndoles estabilidad y un horizonte financiero de m\u00e1s de diez a\u00f1os. En la actualidad, Tensile gestiona una cartera de activos que alcanzan 600 millones de d\u00f3lares aproximadamente.<\/p>

Tensile tiene una extensa experiencia en el sector de los materiales de construcci\u00f3n y su apoyo permitir\u00e1 a Keraben acelerar su plan estrat\u00e9gico, penetrar en nuevos mercados y realizar adquisiciones estrat\u00e9gicas. El actual equipo directivo, liderado por Jos\u00e9 Luis Lanuza, seguir\u00e1 dirigiendo la compa\u00f1\u00eda.<\/p>

Doug Dossey, Managing Partner de Tensile<\/strong> dijo: <\/strong>\u201cHab\u00edamos trabajado con Livingstone en el pasado, por lo que no dudamos en mandatarles de nuevo para esta compleja operaci\u00f3n. Tenemos nuestra sede en San Francisco y por lo tanto necesit\u00e1bamos contar con un socio local fuerte en Espa\u00f1a para convertirse en una extensi\u00f3n de nuestro propio equipo. Al final, sin embargo, logramos mucho m\u00e1s porque Livingstone se integr\u00f3 totalmente con nuestro equipo y tambi\u00e9n con el equipo de Keraben para ayudar a todas las partes a llevar esta operaci\u00f3n a un cierre beneficioso para todos. Estamos muy agradecidos por sus esfuerzos en estos diez meses del proceso y estamos deseando trabajar de nuevo con Neil y Eva\u201d.<\/em><\/p>

Jos\u00e9 Luis Lanuza, Consejero Delegado de Keraben<\/strong> coment\u00f3: <\/strong>\u201dEstamos encantados de haber cerrado esta operaci\u00f3n. Fue un placer trabajar con el equipo de Livingstone. Fueron positivos y constructivos durante el proceso, trabajando para solucionar asuntos complejos. Su experiencia fue de gran ayuda\u201d.<\/em><\/p>

\u201cPersonalmente, creo que ha sido una de las transacciones m\u00e1s complejas que he vivido\u201d <\/em>dijo Neil Collen, Socio de Livingstone<\/strong>. Y a\u00f1adi\u00f3: \u201cEl proceso consisti\u00f3 en una compra de deuda, nueva financiaci\u00f3n por parte de la mayor\u00eda de los bancos existentes, tramos de deuda diferenciados e inyecci\u00f3n de capital de un grupo extranjero. A\u00fan as\u00ed, fue un placer trabajar con protagonistas de primer nivel en un proceso intenso a la vez que muy interesante y positivo. Tanto Tensile, como la familia Benavent, el equipo directivo de Keraben y los trece bancos involucrados demostraron flexibilidad, compromiso y creatividad\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":2809,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"client-type":[],"region":[],"sector":[],"service":[],"transaction-type":[],"class_list":["post-15311","transaction","type-transaction","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"team_members":[1769,1789],"date":"20141229","client_type":48,"type":[1022],"region":[399,402,1219],"services":[463,464],"sectors":[844,859],"related_transactions":[15821,15907,15478,15602],"related_testimonials":[52707,53198],"contacts":""},"yoast_head":"\nTensile
