TEAM
TESTIMONIALS
»FotoFinder was celebrating its 30th anniversary when one of the two founders planned to retire in 2021. Aquin helped us to reshape our family business with a broader team of shareholders and an investor in order to prepare for its promising future. The Aquin team proved to be not only masterful in all phases of the process, but also understanding of our situation as a family business and the particular corporate culture. Out of around 50 applicants, we were able to find an investor who was a great fit for our company and shared our values. Despite all the tension that such a process entails, working with Aquin has been a pleasure for all of us. For us, Aquin is therefore not just a B2B business partner, but a H2H companion, from human to human!«Andreas Mayer, Julian Mayer, Kathrin Niemela, Rudolf Mayer & Mo Daryaie,FotoFinder Systems GmbH
»Aquin succeeded excellently in managing the complex M&A process with all stakeholders (including shareholders, management, customers and suppliers) and the investors. Thanks to a highly motivated team and a trusting and goal-oriented cooperation at all times, we achieved an ideal win-win result for all parties involved. With meticulousness and professional negotiating activity, Aquin made this outstanding deal possible. I would therefore like to express my sincere thanks to Aquin, also on behalf of my wife.«Hubert Maier(Executive Partner),Schulz-Electronic GmbH
»The sale of any business in any sector, at any time can be a challenging exercise. Testimony to the Aquin team that their strong leadership and market experience, married to a collaborative and empathetic approach, facilitated another winning outcome for all stakeholders – this time mid-pandemic and entirely online. This remarkable feat can only be achieved by two outstanding teams (management + Aquin) working efficiently, effectively and in harmony as one to achive the best possible result.«Stuart Bain(CEO), designLED Products Ltd
»Aquin was representing the sellers, which consisted of a very large number of shareholders with different objectives. Faurecia was not represented by any M&A advisory, however, Aquin established a positive and pleasant relationship between all parties and managed to develop suitable solutions which we all could agree upon.«Ronan Messager(Head of M&A),Faurecia S.E.
»Starting a company and developing it for a lifetime is a challenge. But I was not aware that it almost takes more to let go and give your own company into new hands. This is only possible with professional, experienced consultants. What is really decisive, however, is the good feeling of being understood and being able to trust. Thank you!«Nils Holger Moormann (Founder),Nils Holger Moormann GmbH
»The cooperation and the very professional handling of our transaction with the BOSSARD Group was only feasible with the goal-oriented and trusting cooperation with Aquin.
