Metal Powder Processing
The targetย was a specialized metal processing businessย operatingย nineย facilities inย sevenย countries. The operations and materials use, storage, and processes varied by site. RPS was engaged in conducting competitive pre-acquisition diligence to identify material exposures and provide risk mitigation solutions to support the transfer of ownership from one private equity firm to another. We worked with counsel to scope and implement the diligence strategy.ย ย
