Livingstone a le plaisir d’annoncer la cession de Lesman Instrument Company (\u00ab Lesman \u00bb ou la \u00ab Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00bb) \u00e0 Kele, Inc. (\u00ab Kele \u00bb), une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 en portefeuille de <\/strong>The Stephens Group, LLC<\/strong><\/a>. Livingstone est intervenu en tant que conseiller financier exclusif de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9. La transaction a \u00e9t\u00e9 finalis\u00e9e en d\u00e9cembre 2020 et ses conditions financi\u00e8res n’ont pas \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9voil\u00e9es.<\/strong><\/p>

Fond\u00e9e en 1962 et bas\u00e9e \u00e0 Bensenville, dans l’Illinois, Lesman<\/a> est un distributeur sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9 de produits utilis\u00e9s pour mesurer, analyser, contr\u00f4ler et automatiser une large gamme de proc\u00e9d\u00e9s industriels, et \u00e9tait d\u00e9tenue majoritairement par le plan d’actionnariat des salari\u00e9s (\u00ab ESOP \u00bb) de Lesman Instrument Company. La gamme de produits comprend divers instruments de mesure de temp\u00e9rature, de pression, de niveau et de d\u00e9bit fabriqu\u00e9s par des \u00e9quipementiers de premier plan.<\/p>

Bas\u00e9e \u00e0 Memphis, dans le Tennessee, et fond\u00e9e en 1983, Kele<\/a> est le principal distributeur de p\u00e9riph\u00e9riques et de solutions de contr\u00f4le pour la gestion technique du b\u00e2timent (GTB). Kele offre \u00e0 ses clients l’acc\u00e8s \u00e0 plus de 125 000 r\u00e9f\u00e9rences dans 24 cat\u00e9gories de produits provenant de plus de 300 fournisseurs majeurs, notamment des fabricants de capteurs, d\u00e9bitm\u00e8tres, transmetteurs, commutateurs, jauges, vannes, actionneurs, relais, contr\u00f4leurs, bo\u00eetiers, outils, \u00e9clairage, alimentations \u00e9lectriques et de nombreux autres produits essentiels au bon fonctionnement des syst\u00e8mes d’automatisation des b\u00e2timents tertiaires (ex. CVC et \u00e9clairage).<\/p>

Lesman a mandat\u00e9 Livingstone pour mener un processus de cession visant \u00e0 identifier et conclure une transaction avec le meilleur partenaire strat\u00e9gique partageant l’engagement de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e0 cr\u00e9er de la valeur pour ses fournisseurs et ses clients.<\/p>

Mike DeLacluyse, pr\u00e9sident-directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de Lesman<\/strong>, a comment\u00e9 : <\/strong>\u00ab Nous sommes ravis d’avoir trouv\u00e9 en Kele un partenaire de premier ordre pour perp\u00e9tuer l’h\u00e9ritage de Lesman. Je ne pourrais pas \u00eatre plus satisfait de l’accompagnement d’excellence fourni par l’\u00e9quipe de Livingstone. Lorsque nous avons envisag\u00e9 de lancer un processus de transaction, nous nous sommes demand\u00e9 si nous devions faire appel \u00e0 un conseil. Nous avons absolument fait le bon choix en retenant Livingstone. Ils ont con\u00e7u un processus de transaction sur mesure et l’ont g\u00e9r\u00e9 \u00e0 chaque \u00e9tape, obtenant un r\u00e9sultat exceptionnel pour les actionnaires. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>

Andrew Isgrig<\/strong><\/a>, Partner chez Livingstone<\/strong>, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 : \u00ab La Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 se distingue sur le march\u00e9 de la distribution d’\u00e9quipements de test, de mesure et de contr\u00f4le en proposant un vaste portefeuille de produits de haute qualit\u00e9 issus d’\u00e9quipementiers de premier plan, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une \u00e9quipe commerciale et technique exp\u00e9riment\u00e9e et soutenue par des capacit\u00e9s d’analyse avanc\u00e9es. Ce fut un plaisir de conseiller Lesman dans le cadre de cette transaction, et nous sommes enthousiastes quant \u00e0 son avenir aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de Kele. \u00bb  <\/em><\/p>

Andrew Bozzelli<\/strong><\/a>, Partner chez Livingstone<\/strong>, a ajout\u00e9 : \u00ab La transaction de Lesman constitue un nouveau succ\u00e8s pour l’un de nos clients distributeurs \u00e0 valeur ajout\u00e9e, s’agissant notamment de la deuxi\u00e8me cession tr\u00e8s r\u00e9ussie d’un distributeur d\u00e9tenu par un ESOP apr\u00e8s celle d’<\/em>Apache \u00e0 Motion Industries<\/em><\/a>. Notre compr\u00e9hension de la gamme de produits et des leviers de cr\u00e9ation de valeur nous a permis de mener un processus tr\u00e8s concurrentiel et de finaliser la transaction dans un d\u00e9lai de 120 jours \u00e0 compter de notre mandat. \u00bb <\/em><\/p>
