Chinese Industrial Manufacturer — Buyer Search Across DACH and Western Europe

About

A mid-sized Chinese manufacturer of hydraulic components for the construction machinery sector (~€20M revenue, ~€5M EBITDA) is seeking a European buyer. The company has a strong domestic market position and existing export relationships to Europe. The seller's M&A advisor in China is looking for strategic acquirers and PE firms with relevant industrial portfolios in Europe.

The challenge

The advisor has extensive networks across Asia but no direct access to European acquirers. Relevant buyer categories — European hydraulic and fluid power companies, construction equipment groups, and PE-backed industrial platforms — are spread across multiple countries and languages, and are difficult to engage from abroad.

Our Approach

Defined buyer categories: European hydraulic and fluid power companies, construction equipment OEMs, industrial PE platforms with buy-and-build strategies
Identified and qualified potential acquirers among industry corporates, conglomerates, family-owned, and local industry networks across DACH, Benelux, and UK
Activated sector-specialized advisors across Europe for buyer type and region
Facilitated confidential introductions between interested parties and the sell-side advisor
