Parties
“Right from the beginning, the Oaklins team guided us through the sales process with great commitment and expertise. Their support enabled us to position our company in the best possible way for the transaction and to navigate the challenges of a complex, international M&A process with confidence. We were particularly pleased with how professional, and at the same time personal, the collaboration was — we felt well advised and understood at every stage of the process. In the end, we were able to select the ideal partner from a large number of offers that not only convinced us financially but, above all, was also the best strategic and personal fit for us. We would like to thank the Oaklins Germany team for the successful collaboration — it was an intensive time together!”
