The start of our relationship with Maasdael dates back to 2008. At the time we had the opportunity to take over Deutz Power Systems shares from a Belgian shareholder through a management buy-out. However, we lacked the knowledge and experience in takeovers and financing. Yet, over 10 stirring years, we still meet regularly with Maasdael advisors. Complex situations are reduced to several core issues and sensitive matters are discussed openly.
Maasdael organised the entire management buy-out process for us. This resulted in a successful acquisition of shares and an impressive financing method whereby our personal deposit was limited to a minimum, whilst the buy-out could be financed. Our case was especially complicated due to the fact that Belgian and Dutch companies were involved.
