An EM focused Investment Bank has been mandated to structure and execute the sale of a family owned state of the art garment manufacturing unit. The Investment Bank is seeking strategic sector investors who may be interested in a strategic acquisition that would give them enhanced low cost production facilities and access to the Western brands that the Company currently serves.
The Company, located in Bangladesh, has been a family owned business from the start but the owner is approaching retirement. Due to the inability of his children to take over, it made strategic sense to look for an exit. The Company has a fully vertically integrated production platform and in terms of its garment range, these include some of the top international brands for both inner and outer wear. A teaser is available as well as more specific information later via a full Information Memorandum and valuation material, but would appreciate firstly guidance as to if there is indicative interest.
Some Core Attributes Include:
