SITUATION

Seale & Associates was retained by the majority owners of Sistemas Centrales de Lubricación, a leader in the reconfiguration of the tribo-thermodynamic processes of the energy Industry’s dynamic equipment to advise on the sale of their shares in the company to their minority partner Colfax Corporation.

The majority shareholder had attempted to do the same transaction in the past without success.

OUTCOME

The process resulted in the successful sale of the majority owners’ shares to their minority partner at a fixed price that considered the historical performance of the company plus a variable price that would consider the earnings achieved by the company in the years following the transaction.

Seale’s involvement sent a strong signal to our partner about the seriousness of our intent and their involvement was instrumental to help us conclude an excellent deal for both us and our partner.

"We attempted to sell our majority ownership to our joint venture partner on several occasions, but each time we did not reach agreement because their proposal never met our expectations. Seale’s involvement sent a strong signal to our partner about the seriousness of our intent and their involvement was instrumental to help us conclude an excellent deal for both us and our partner."
