Creating Value Together.

Consolidation remains a key trend, as companies seek to gain economies of scale, expand their geographic reach, or diversify product offerings.

Technological innovation, particularly in automation, robotics, and sustainable manufacturing processes, is also a major catalyst for M&A activity, as firms look to stay competitive in an increasingly digital and environmentally-conscious marketplace.

Additionally, private equity firms are targeting manufacturers with untapped growth potential or those in need of restructuring, while larger industrial players continue to acquire complementary businesses to strengthen their portfolios and improve operational efficiencies.

The whole Cognos France team provided perfect support from the beginning to the end of the operation, very professional but also friendly, to ensure that the sale of our company was carried out under the best possible conditions and negotiated at the best sale price, all in less than six months, which exceeded all our expectations. There's only one word to sum up the work accomplished by the whole Cognos France team: Bravo! Jean-Pierre MASSET, Chairman of Pressoirs Coquard

I am pleased that, with Cognos Germany at our side, we had an experienced and professional team of M&A consultants to support us. The broad suite of skills provided by Cognos Germanyy enabled us to find an investor with a long-term perspective Doreen Knauer-Steinbrück, the former sole shareholder of D-H-G Knauer

The support and guidance provided by the team at Cognos UK was invaluable during the sale process. Their calm and pragmatic approach to the process not only eased the concerns of the shareholders at the initial stages and made the technical aspects of the transaction easy to understand. However, at certain points of the process their drive and determination were called upon to overcome roadblocks and ensure all parties remained focused on the result. Andrew and Ricky were firm but professional throughout and their tenacity and experience delivered a transaction that achieved the shareholders’ objectives. Mike Garner, CEO of Garner Osborne
