Xavier Rovira, fondatore di IQAP<\/strong>, ha affermato: \u201cSono entusiasta per i clienti e i dipendenti di IQAP, il cui futuro potr\u00e0 continuare a crescere e prosperare all\u2019interno della famiglia globale PolyOne. Abbiamo valutato molti potenziali acquirenti per IQAP e PolyOne \u00e8 stata chiaramente la scelta migliore, perfettamente in linea con la nostra visione e i nostri ideali di innovazione di livello mondiale e servizio al cliente.\u201d<\/em> Ha poi aggiunto: \u201cConosco Neil Collen da molti anni e non ho avuto dubbi sulle capacit\u00e0 del team Livingstone di aiutarci in questo processo di transizione e individuare un nuovo proprietario per IQAP. Livingstone ha dimostrato la capacit\u00e0 di gestire le complessit\u00e0 di una transazione cross-border, interagendo sia con investitori nazionali che internazionali e i loro consulenti, e trovando soluzioni che hanno portato al buon esito di un\u2019operazione vantaggiosa per tutte le parti coinvolte. L\u2019esperienza, la professionalit\u00e0 e la dedizione del team Livingstone sono stati un fattore chiave per il successo di questa transazione.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

Neil Collen<\/strong><\/a>, Partner di Livingstone<\/strong>, ha commentato: \u201c\u00c8 stato un piacere lavorare con Xavier e il suo team. IQAP \u00e8 un\u2019azienda estremamente innovativa nel suo settore.

Jorge Tu\u00f1\u00ed<\/strong><\/a>, Associate Director di Livingstone<\/strong>, ha aggiunto: \u201cLavorare con il team di IQAP \u00e8 stata un\u2019esperienza molto gratificante. IQAP \u00e8 un\u2019azienda straordinaria e siamo lieti che l\u2019acquirente sia uno dei leader mondiali del settore chimico.

Paese.\u201d<\/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-12315","transaction","type-transaction","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"team_members":[1475,1495],"date":"20180102","client_type":49,"type":[1127],"region":[390,393,1191],"services":[448],"sectors":[741],"related_transactions":[12311,12307,11592,12270,12177],"related_testimonials":[49320],"contacts":""},"yoast_head":"\nIQAP
