Livingstone \u00e8 lieta di annunciare la vendita di Lesman Instrument Company (\u201cLesman\u201d o la \u201cSociet\u00e0\u201d) a Kele, Inc. (\u201cKele\u201d), societ\u00e0 in portafoglio di <\/strong>The Stephens Group, LLC<\/strong><\/a>. Livingstone ha agito in qualit\u00e0 di advisor finanziario in esclusiva della Societ\u00e0. L’operazione \u00e8 stata conclusa a dicembre 2020; i termini dell\u2019accordo non sono stati resi noti.<\/strong><\/p>

Fondata nel 1962 e con sede a Bensenville, Illinois, Lesman<\/a> \u00e8 un distributore specializzato di prodotti per la misurazione, analisi, controllo e automazione di processi industriali. La societ\u00e0 era detenuta in maggioranza dal Lesman Instrument Company Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Il portafoglio prodotti include strumenti per la misurazione di temperatura, pressione, livello e portata, forniti da produttori OEM di primo livello.<\/p>

Fondata nel 1983 e con sede a Memphis, Tennessee, Kele<\/a> \u00e8 il principale distributore di componenti e soluzioni per l’automazione degli edifici. L\u2019azienda mette a disposizione dei propri clienti oltre 125.000 codici prodotto (SKU) in 24 categorie, provenienti da oltre 300 fornitori leader di mercato. Il portafoglio comprende sensori, flussometri, trasmettitori, interruttori, manometri, valvole, attuatori, rel\u00e8, controller, quadri, utensili, sistemi di illuminazione, alimentatori e molti altri componenti essenziali per il funzionamento dei sistemi di automazione degli edifici commerciali (ad es. HVAC e illuminazione).<\/p>

Lesman ha incaricato Livingstone di gestire il processo di vendita per identificare e assicurare una transazione con il miglior partner strategico, in linea con l\u2019impegno dell\u2019azienda a generare valore per fornitori e clienti.<\/p>

\u201cSiamo entusiasti di aver trovato in Kele un partner di primo livello, in grado di portare avanti l\u2019eredit\u00e0 di Lesman. Non potremmo essere pi\u00f9 soddisfatti del servizio offerto dal team Livingstone. All’inizio ci siamo chiesti se fosse opportuno affidarsi a un advisor: scegliere Livingstone \u00e8 stata assolutamente la decisione giusta. Hanno strutturato un processo su misura e lo hanno gestito in ogni dettaglio, ottenendo un risultato eccellente per gli azionisti\u201d<\/em>, ha dichiarato Mike DeLacluyse, Presidente e CEO di Lesman.<\/strong><\/p>

\u201cLesman si distingue nel mercato della distribuzione di prodotti per test, misura e controllo grazie a un ampio portafoglio di soluzioni di alta qualit\u00e0 da OEM blue-chip, supportato da un team commerciale e tecnico esperto e da capacit\u00e0 analitiche avanzate. \u00c8 stato un piacere rappresentare Lesman in questa operazione e siamo entusiasti per il loro futuro insieme a Kele\u201d<\/em>, ha dichiarato Andrew Isgrig<\/strong><\/a>, Partner di Livingstone.<\/strong><\/p>

Andrew Bozzelli,<\/strong><\/a> Partner di Livingstone,<\/strong> ha aggiunto: \u201cQuesta operazione rappresenta un ulteriore successo nella nostra attivit\u00e0 di consulenza a distributori value-added, e segue la vendita, anch\u2019essa altamente positiva, di un\u2019altra societ\u00e0 partecipata da un ESOP: <\/em>Apache, venduta a Motion Industries<\/em><\/a>. La nostra conoscenza approfondita del prodotto e delle dinamiche di creazione di valore ci ha consentito di gestire un processo competitivo e di concludere la transazione entro 120 giorni dall\u2019avvio dell\u2019incarico.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

Levenfeld Pearlstein, LLC<\/a> ha agito come consulente legale della Societ\u00e0. Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren s.c. <\/a>ha rappresentato il trustee dell\u2019ESOP, mentre Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP<\/a> ha prestato assistenza legale a Kele.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":3629,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"client-type":[],"region":[],"sector":[],"service":[],"transaction-type":[],"class_list":["post-12616","transaction","type-transaction","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"team_members":[1483,1488,1500],"date":"20201224","client_type":49,"type":[1118],"region":[393],"services":[448],"sectors":[741,757],"related_transactions":"","related_testimonials":[52074],"contacts":""},"yoast_head":"\nLivingstone
