“Investments in industry—particularly in advanced, engineering-intensive sectors—must be underpinned by a deep operational understanding of development, production, and growth challenges.”
Private Equity & Capital Markets
Create operational value across the entire investment cycle
We help private equity investors create measurable operational value—from validating investment theses with fact-based operational due diligence, to accelerating performance during the holding period, to strengthening fundamentals ahead of exit. Our expertise enables funds to unlock EBITDA and derisk execution.
What we bring to the table
As operational partners to private equity funds and their portfolio companies, we offer a unique combination of industrial depth and execution capabilities, i.e.:
- Deep operational expertise across the full value chain: from R&D and product development to manufacturing and supply chain—enabling us to assess and transform operations end-to-end
- Rapid mobilization with pre-packaged tools and frameworks: full-cost product analysis, industrial cost benchmarks, operational assessment grids, and proven diagnostic methodologies
- Industry-specific knowledge built over 30 years across aerospace, industrial equipment, life sciences, consumer goods, energy, and automotive
- Flexibility to adapt analyses to available data—from high-level flash diagnostics to detailed quantitative deep-dives, leveraging our teams’ experience and seniority
- Strategy and execution alignment: translate financial targets into concrete operational action plans and deliver measurable results throughout the holding period
- Organizational and talent assessment capabilities to drive change in an efficient way
Buy-Side Operational Due Diligence
We conduct technical and operational due diligence to support informed investment decisions. On the technical side we assess product roadmap robustness, R&D maturity, and technology feasibility. On the operational side we identify prerequisites for the business plan, challenge capacity projections, and quantify EBITDA risks.
Value Creation Plans & Performance Improvement
We design and deploy value creation plans delivering measurable results. Our hands-on approach focuses on performance initiatives (cost reduction, capacity improvement), operational excellence programs, manufacturing and supply chain optimization, and translating financial targets into operational action plans.
Post-Merger Integration
We guide integrations following add-on acquisitions: defining new operating models, harmonizing processes and systems, capturing operational synergies (procurement, manufacturing, supply chain), and managing organizational change.
Sell-Side Due Diligence & Exit Preparation
We prepare portfolio companies for successful exits: implementing operational improvements toward recurring EBITDA, strengthening organizations and processes, conducting risk analyses, and helping to craft compelling operations narratives for buyers.
