NCH Capital is a global investment firm with more than US$3 billion capital under management. NCH Capital was founded in 1993, forming 25 funds targeting inefficiencies in capital-starved markets. The firm’s deep-value strategies are executed, depending on the local opportunity set, through investments in real estate, agribusiness, private equity and publicly quoted securities.

Oaklins' team in the Baltics led the process as the exclusive M&A advisor to GroGlass in this cross-border transaction. Oaklins’ teams in the Netherlands, Germany and the US supported the transaction.

“The unique blend of personality and professionalism made Oaklins’ team the perfect partner in this transaction. They became a natural extension of our own team, masterfully guiding us through the many turns and pivots of this complicated transaction. Their wide international reach and deep local knowledge was the key winning combination that led us to choose them from the many competing offers and remains the reason to recommend them for any future M&A deal.
