Livingstone \u00e8 lieta di annunciare la cessione di <\/strong>Schumacher Electric Corporation<\/strong><\/a> (\u201cSEC\u201d o la \u201cSociet\u00e0\u201d), azienda familiare di seconda generazione, a <\/strong>Lincolnshire Management, Inc.<\/strong><\/a> (\u201cLincolnshire\u201d). Donald (\u201cDon\u201d) Schumacher continuer\u00e0 a far parte della Societ\u00e0 in qualit\u00e0 di investitore e membro del consiglio di amministrazione. Livingstone ha agito in qualit\u00e0 di advisor finanziario in esclusiva per SEC.<\/strong><\/p>

Nel corso di oltre 70 anni di attivit\u00e0, SEC \u00e8 diventata il principale progettista e produttore nordamericano di soluzioni per l\u2019alimentazione elettrica, incluse ricarica batterie, avviamento d\u2019emergenza, strumenti di test e trasformatori su misura. I prodotti dell\u2019azienda trovano applicazione in molteplici contesti automobilistici, commerciali e ricreativi, tra cui: alimentazione di emergenza e riavvio veicoli, rimessaggio a lungo termine, servizi professionali di meccanica e traino, campeggio, viaggi, nautica e attivit\u00e0 all\u2019aperto.<\/p>

La posizione di leadership di SEC \u00e8 il frutto di un impegno costante verso l\u2019innovazione tecnologica e un servizio clienti impeccabile. Di conseguenza, l\u2019azienda vanta rapporti consolidati e di lunga durata con quasi tutti i principali retailer fisici ed e-commerce del Nord America. La clientela comprende rivenditori di massa, distributori di ricambi e accessori auto, e-commerce, OEM e canali di vendita all\u2019ingrosso.<\/p>

Don Schumacher, CEO di SEC,<\/strong> ha commentato: \u201cEssendo un\u2019azienda privata con limitata esperienza in operazioni di M&A, la guida di Livingstone \u00e8 stata fondamentale per prepararci e accompagnarci lungo l\u2019intero processo di vendita. Cercavamo un partner in grado non solo di apportare capitale per la crescita, ma anche di offrire esperienza nei settori aftermarket automotive e consumer. Livingstone ha identificato quel partner in Lincolnshire.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

Durante il processo, Lincolnshire ha dimostrato una solida conoscenza del settore aftermarket automobilistico, avendo in precedenza investito in Holley Performance Products, Inc., produttore di carburatori, collettori, compressori, pompe d\u2019acqua, sistemi di iniezione, pompe carburante e altri componenti per applicazioni stradali e racing.<\/p>

Robert Tymowski<\/strong><\/a>, Managing Director di Livingstone<\/strong>, ha aggiunto: \u201cSiamo orgogliosi di aver concluso un\u2019ottima operazione per un\u2019altra azienda a conduzione familiare. Questa operazione consente a Don Schumacher di assumere un ruolo pi\u00f9 strategico, abbinando le solide competenze commerciali, ingegneristiche, produttive e logistiche di SEC a un partner proiettato verso il futuro, focalizzato su miglioramenti operativi, sviluppo prodotti ed espansione internazionale. Siamo entusiasti per Don e per tutto il team.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

La squadra di Lincolnshire che ha seguito l’operazione era guidata dai Managing Director Philip Kim e Thomas Callahan, con il Principal David MacDonald.
Philip Kim<\/strong> ha commentato: \u201cQuesto investimento rappresenta un\u2019ottima aggiunta al nostro portafoglio ed \u00e8 esemplificativo delle tipologie di aziende in cui investiamo: a conduzione familiare, con potenziale di crescita globale, catena di fornitura strategica e forte riconoscibilit\u00e0 del marchio.\u201d<\/em>
Thomas Callahan<\/strong> ha aggiunto: \u201cSiamo impazienti di collaborare con Don e il management team di Schumacher per sostenere l\u2019espansione, capitalizzare gli investimenti in nuove tecnologie e consolidare la leadership di mercato.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

Questa rappresenta la 64\u00aa operazione globale nel settore industriale per Livingstone e la 24\u00aa cessione di un\u2019azienda a conduzione familiare dal 2018, dopo le vendite di Spotsee e Royal Truck Body.<\/p>

Con oltre 80 professionisti in sedi a Chicago, Los Angeles, Pechino, D\u00fcsseldorf, Londra, Madrid e Stoccolma, Livingstone combina profonda competenza settoriale con un\u2019ampia copertura globale. I team dedicati coprono cinque settori: Business Services, Consumer, Healthcare, Industrial, e Media & Technology.<\/p>

Fondata nel 1986 e con sede a New York, Lincolnshire Management \u00e8 una societ\u00e0 di private equity specializzata in investimenti e acquisizioni di aziende middle market in crescita, operanti in diversi settori. Lincolnshire realizza operazioni di acquisizione di aziende private, ricapitalizzazioni, dismissioni, management buyout e crescita per aziende pubbliche e private. La societ\u00e0 gestisce oltre 1,7 miliardi di dollari di capitale di private equity.<\/p>

Seyfarth Shaw LLP ha fornito assistenza legale a SEC durante l\u2019intero processo. Kirkland & Ellis LLP ha assistito Lincolnshire per gli aspetti legali.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":3606,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"client-type":[],"region":[],"sector":[],"service":[],"transaction-type":[],"class_list":["post-12593","transaction","type-transaction","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"team_members":[1501],"date":"20201002","client_type":49,"type":[1127],"region":[393],"services":[448],"sectors":[741,739,743],"related_transactions":[12516,12484],"related_testimonials":[52066],"contacts":""},"yoast_head":"\nLivingstone
