CASE STUDY: INMAGUSA
Grupo Galaz Divested its Business to IOCHPE-MAXION
TARGET
Grupo Galaz, S.A. de C.V. ("INMAGUSA")
INDUSTRIES
Automotive & Truck Components, Manufacturing
TRANSACTION TYPE
Company Sale
GEOGRAPHY
Monclova, Coahuila
SITUATION
Seale & Associates was retained by the family owners of INMAGUSA, a leading Mexican truck frame rails and metal components manufacturer, to advise on valuation and strategic alternatives, which eventually resulted in a divestiture process.
OUTCOME
Seale conducted a valuation of the Company and evaluated a range of strategic alternatives for its shareholders. Ultimately, the shareholders chose to divest the business, and Seale identified and engaged with leading global companies that were a strategic fit.
The process resulted in the successful acquisition of INMAGUSA by IOCHPE-MAXION for US$195m, which became the Mexico manufacturing platform for growth and expansion in the NAFTA market.
"After our father passed away, my sisters and I were left with a growing business to manage, and not surprisingly we had different needs and ideas of how best to manage the business going forward. Seale skillfully analyzed the range of strategic alternatives and guided us to the best solution for our family - the sale of our truck part manufacturing business to a Brazilian strategic buyer. I strongly recommend Seale for family owned businesses because their professionals have the experience, skills and attentive personalities to make each and every family member feel comfortable when analyzing and making important strategic decisions."
