Van De Velde Group

Impresta is a paper and cardboard packaging manufacturer for the food industry. Aventis facilitated an exit to a strategic buyer, that not only made financial sense, but also allowed the management to withdraw from day to day operations.

Challenge

The founder of Impresta was looking to retire after years of hard work put into the business, but haven’t actively explored M&A options, focusing on running the business.

The available options were not immediately obvious to Impresta, as they had not actively looked for buyers, and hadn’t had any inbound inquiries. Aventis approached Impresta with a proposition to explore the sale of the company and start a structured sale process.

Solution

Aventis Advisors did a comprehensive outbound reach to a targeted group of buyers from the industry. At the same time, our advisors helped Impresta’s founder to evaluate the potential transaction structures and select the best option.

Stirring up some competition among the strategic buyers, a satisfying valuation and deal terms were achieved. Despite the restrictions caused by the pandemic, Aventis managed to get the transaction to the finish line. The buyer of Impresta was a Belgian company – Van De Velde Packaging.
