Chinese Industrial Manufacturer — Buyer Search Across DACH and Western Europe

About

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

The challenge

The advisor has extensive networks across Asia but no direct access to European acquirers. Relevant buyers include European hydraulic and fluid power companies, construction equipment groups, and PE-backed industrial platforms. These are spread across multiple countries and languages, making them hard to reach 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
