Manufacturing a deal in Manchester

Article Abstract:

The management buyout of Pilkington's Tiles, the leading UK producer of unglazed floor tiles, was part of a larger programme of disposals at BTR, which has been undertaking extensive rationalisation over recent years following many purchases in the 1980s. The deal was the first to be handled by Barclays Acquisition Finance, an operation created by Barclays Bank in Manchester, England. Barclays Acquisition Finance was able to provide 15 million pounds sterling in senior debt financing out of a total package of 27 million pounds sterling.

Adding value through acquisition

Article Abstract:

The management buyout of Entrelec, a French producer of a range of electrical connectors used in industry, presented a range of complicated issues. The company had a strong market position, but also showed some weaknesses, including two strong German competitors. However, the buyout was able to go ahead, and the company was also able to strengthen its position by purchasing Schiele, a producer of electronic timers owned by Deutsche-Benz Aerospace.

A tale of happy coincidences ...

Article Abstract:

ADS Anker, the largest independent supplier of electronic point of sale systems and solutions in Europe, was owned by BTR before a management buy-in was undertaken. European Acquisition Capital, which managed the deal, worked closely with BTR, as ADS Anker did not have the structure to operate independently. The deal proved complicated, but was eventually settled to the satisfaction of both sides.
