SERVICES

Acquisitions are often the most efficient way for a firm to achieve its growth objectives and increase shareholder value. In the chemical and materials science industry, companies seeking to grow through acquisitions engage Grace Matthews for either broad-based acquisition searches, where we target a group of companies that fit predetermined criteria, or specific target projects, where we pursue one or two high-priority acquisition candidates. 

Grace Matthews approaches buy-side project searches – as with all projects – by creating a dedicated team that takes the time to develop a thorough understanding of the client’s business and growth objectives. This knowledge becomes the foundation that guides the whole process, enabling us to identify the best potential targets and then negotiate with the companies that offer the client the best fit with their business goals. 

In targeted buy-side advisory projects, Grace Matthews focuses on a single, high priority candidate. Grace Matthews makes initial contact, leads negotiations, supports due diligence, and closes the transaction. Our extensive corporate network and hard-earned industry credibility can often open doors that are closed to others. 

Grace Matthews also supports clients pursuing a target that is formally marketed in a sale process. Our M&A execution skills and industry expertise puts our clients in the best position for success in a competitive process.
