Engagement Summary
An industrial equipment manufacturing company based out of Europe wanted to conduct an acquisition target screening analysis to identify targets in the industrial biogas sector. By expanding their offerings, the client wanted to venture into the industrial gas handling segment. They collaborated with Infiniti Research and sought help to assess the biogas market segment to identify new opportunities and find potential acquisition targets across several countries. To initiate this project, we proposed a three-phased approach that helped prioritize biogas market opportunities by country and conducted acquisition target screening analysis in shortlisted segments.
We also put together a list of potential targets that met the client’s target criteria and narrowed down the list to find potential target segments. As a result, the client successfully invested in one of the target segments and achieved significant benefits.
