L’\u00e9quipe Industrie de Livingstone a le plaisir d’annoncer la cession de <\/strong>Royal Truck Body<\/strong><\/a> (\u00ab Royal \u00bb ou \u00ab la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00bb) \u00e0 <\/strong>Spartan Motors, Inc.<\/strong><\/a> (\u00ab Spartan \u00bb) (NASDAQ : SPAR). Livingstone est intervenu en tant que conseiller financier exclusif de <\/strong>Royal<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>

\u00ab Nous sommes ravis du r\u00e9sultat. Livingstone a guid\u00e9 l’\u00e9quipe de Royal tout au long d’un processus de vente extr\u00eamement efficace et concurrentiel. L’\u00e9quipe de Livingstone a parfaitement ma\u00eetris\u00e9 chaque \u00e9tape, dispens\u00e9 des conseils avis\u00e9s et fait preuve d’une capacit\u00e9 unique \u00e0 concevoir un processus cr\u00e9atif r\u00e9pondant \u00e0 nos objectifs \u00bb,<\/em> a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Dudley DeZonia, fondateur et pr\u00e9sident de Royal Truck Body. \u00ab Spartan s’aligne parfaitement avec les valeurs et la culture de notre entreprise ; nos clients tout comme nos collaborateurs b\u00e9n\u00e9ficieront du rapprochement entre Royal Truck Body et Spartan pour offrir de nouvelles solutions et services novateurs. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>

Entreprise familiale fond\u00e9e en 1971, Royal Truck Body propose une gamme compl\u00e8te de carrosseries et d’accessoires pour v\u00e9hicules utilitaires et de service, r\u00e9pondant aux besoins de divers march\u00e9s finaux, notamment les concessions commerciales, les gestionnaires de flottes, les entreprises de services publics et les municipalit\u00e9s. Royal r\u00e9pond aux besoins de ses clients depuis son si\u00e8ge social situ\u00e9 \u00e0 Carson, en Californie, et cinq succursales r\u00e9parties dans le nord de la Californie, en Arizona et au Texas.<\/p>

\u00ab C’est une journ\u00e9e marquante pour Spartan \u00bb,<\/em> a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Daryl Adams, pr\u00e9sident-directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de Spartan<\/strong>. \u00ab L’acquisition de Royal Truck Body s’inscrit dans la poursuite de l’ex\u00e9cution de notre plan strat\u00e9gique et concr\u00e9tise notre promesse d’expansion \u00e0 l’\u00e9chelle nationale au b\u00e9n\u00e9fice de nos clients, fournisseurs, collaborateurs et actionnaires. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>

Cette acquisition s’inscrit dans le cadre du plan strat\u00e9gique de Spartan, favorisant la croissance de la marge d’EBITDA, l’augmentation du chiffre d’affaires et l’expansion g\u00e9ographique gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une empreinte industrielle et de distribution s’\u00e9tendant d’une c\u00f4te \u00e0 l’autre. Royal rejoint la division Specialty Chassis and Vehicles de Spartan et, en reconnaissance de la notori\u00e9t\u00e9 de sa marque, continuera d’op\u00e9rer sous la marque Royal Truck Body.<\/p>

Spartan est le leader nord-am\u00e9ricain de la fabrication et de l’assemblage de v\u00e9hicules sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s pour les secteurs du v\u00e9hicule utilitaire et commercial. Reconnu dans le secteur pour sa qualit\u00e9, sa durabilit\u00e9, son service apr\u00e8s-vente et ses innovations pionni\u00e8res, Spartan emploie environ 2 500 collaborateurs et exploite des sites dans le Michigan, l’ Indiana, en Pensylvanie, en Caroline du Sud, en Floride, dans le Missouri, en Californie, en Arizona, au Texas, dans le Nebraska, dans le Dakota du Sud ; \u00e0 Saltillo (Mexique) ; et \u00e0 Lima (P\u00e9rou).<\/p>

\u00ab Ce fut un privil\u00e8ge et un honneur d’accompagner Dudley et l’\u00e9quipe de Royal Truck Body \u00bb,<\/em> <\/strong>a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Karl Freimuth<\/strong><\/a>, Associ\u00e9 chez Livingstone<\/strong>. \u00ab Apr\u00e8s avoir analys\u00e9 les objectifs de notre client et son positionnement sur le march\u00e9 des carrosseries de v\u00e9hicules utilitaires, l’\u00e9quipe Industrie de Livingstone a con\u00e7u une structuration de processus sur mesure et hautement cibl\u00e9e, qui a permis de finaliser l’op\u00e9ration en un peu plus de quatre mois \u00e0 compter de la r\u00e9union d’organisation initiale. La transaction Royal Truck illustre une fois de plus la solide exp\u00e9rience de Livingstone dans la cession d’entreprises du mid-market \u00e0 des acqu\u00e9reurs strat\u00e9giques de premier plan. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>

Royal constitue la 124e transaction r\u00e9alis\u00e9e par Livingstone depuis 2018 et la 46e transaction industrielle internationale conclue sur la m\u00eame p\u00e9riode, apr\u00e8s les cessions d’Artistic Carton \u00e0 Graphic Packaging<\/a>, de The Mason Company \u00e0 Midmark Corporation<\/a>, et la cession de Rheinh\u00fctte Pumpen \u00e0 ITT Inc<\/a>.<\/p>

Heath Steinbeck LLP<\/a> a agi en tant que conseil juridique et Moss Adams LLP<\/a> a assur\u00e9 les services comptables pour Royal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
