Livingstone ha assistito i proprietari di Johan Walter Berg AB (“Berg Propulsion”)<\/strong> nella vendita dell\u2019azienda a Caterpillar Inc.<\/strong>, societ\u00e0 quotata alla Borsa di New York.<\/p>

Berg Propulsion sviluppa, produce e commercializza eliche a passo variabile e soluzioni di propulsione per grandi imbarcazioni. Fondata nel 1912 e acquisita dagli attuali proprietari nel 1999, l’azienda ha costruito la propria reputazione su competenze ingegneristiche di livello mondiale in settori come l’idrodinamica, la progettazione navale e l\u2019ottimizzazione dimensionale.<\/p>

Leader globale nel segmento delle eliche a passo variabile di medie dimensioni, Berg Propulsion detiene una quota di mercato superiore al 20% <\/strong>a livello mondiale. L’azienda ha siti produttivi in Svezia e Singapore, impiega oltre 300 dipendenti e genera un fatturato superiore a 1 miliardo di SEK.<\/p>

Livingstone ha affiancato i proprietari di Berg Propulsion durante l’intero processo di vendita, occupandosi della preparazione dell\u2019operazione, della redazione dei documenti informativi, della gestione dei contatti con potenziali acquirenti, della due diligence e delle negoziazioni finali.<\/p>

Kenneth Westlund, Partner di Livingstone<\/strong>, ha commentato: “L\u2019interesse per Berg Propulsion \u00e8 stato enorme. La sua forte posizione di mercato globale, le competenze uniche e l\u2019elevata qualit\u00e0 dei prodotti, unite al potenziale di crescita nel settore marittimo, hanno generato un ampio interesse tra gli operatori industriali.”<\/em><\/p>

L\u2019acquirente, Caterpillar Inc., \u00e8 un produttore globale di prodotti industriali, tra cui motori diesel, macchinari per le costruzioni e attrezzature per l\u2019industria mineraria. Con una capitalizzazione di mercato superiore a 55 miliardi di dollari, Caterpillar impiega circa 130.000 dipendenti e genera un fatturato di 66 miliardi di dollari.<\/p>

L’acquisizione di Berg Propulsion consente a Caterpillar di acquisire competenze industriali strategiche e un portafoglio di prodotti complementari, rafforzando la sua offerta di soluzioni di propulsione complete per imbarcazioni, dai motori diesel fino alle eliche.<\/p>

Il completamento dell\u2019operazione \u00e8 soggetto all’approvazione delle autorit\u00e0 di regolamentazione e ad altre condizioni consuete. Il closing \u00e8 previsto per il terzo trimestre del 2013.<\/p>

Thomas Karlsson, Partner di Livingstone<\/strong>, ha aggiunto: “Il settore delle applicazioni e dei servizi marittimi continua a suscitare grande interesse, e prevediamo un’ulteriore espansione e acquisizioni da parte di grandi aziende internazionali nel mercato nordico.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":3088,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"client-type":[],"region":[],"sector":[],"service":[],"transaction-type":[],"class_list":["post-12073","transaction","type-transaction","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"team_members":"","date":"20130731","client_type":49,"type":[1127],"region":[391,393,1191],"services":[448],"sectors":[741],"related_transactions":"","related_testimonials":"","contacts":""},"yoast_head":"\nBerg
