SITUATION

Seale & Associates was retained by Kent plc, to develop a universe of potential acquisition targets with structural, mechanical, and piping (SMP) capabilities based in Canada, confidentially pre-qualify targets, and assist in the execution of the acquisition and diligence.

OUTCOME

Kentz was looking to increase their multi-discipline fabrication and construction services in Canada by adding SMP fabrication, along with site construction capabilities, to Kentz’s existing in-country electrical, instrumentation and telecommunication expertise.

Alegro completes a range of significant facilities projects in Alberta for clients in a variety of sectors, in particular oil and gas.

Seale has a deep bench of experienced bankers that drove the transaction from inception to close

"Seale & Associates involvement was invaluable in helping us to identify ideal acquisition targets that met our strategic investment criteria – and what surprised us is that some of the targets were previously unknown to us and for others we learned new information that was different than we had received from our in-country management team. Seale has a deep bench of experienced bankers that drove the transaction from inception to close. There is no substitute to having veteran advisors at your side to propose alternative solutions for transaction obstacles and ensure a communication channel always remains open with the counterparty."

President of Oil & Gas, SNC-Lavalin
