About the deal <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Investec has advised the shareholder of Sirius International on the sale of 100% of its shares to Belgium listed Azelis (EQT Portfolio Company). Azelis is a innovative service provider in the specialty chemicals and food ingredients industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This acquisition complements Azelis\u2019 lateral value chain in home care and industrial cleaning with an attractive portfolio and aligns perfectly with Azelis’ ambition to become a world-leading innovation service provider. Pioneering in the formulation of sustainable cleaning products from biodegradable and\/or recyclable chemical raw materials and with expertise in green chemicals, Sirius will enable Azelis to offer innovative environmental solutions to its customers in the EMEA region and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n

I visited four M&A firms to determine who I would partner with to bring my company\u2019s chemical innovations to market. What stood out to me about Investec was that they did not immediately dive into the numbers, but first sought to understand the story behind the business: the entrepreneur, the vision, the mission, the people, the applications of the products, and the customers. \u200b<\/p>\n

Chemical products and processes are applied across many areas of society, each with its own story. Yet those stories are told too infrequently, which means that \u201cchemistry\u201d often remains misunderstood by the public. It is sometimes perceived as polluting rather than solution-driven. Investec sees beyond that and, through their storytelling, positions your company in the right light, bringing its international application potential to the forefront.\u200b<\/p>\n<\/div> \n\n Leo Verboeket, Owner & CEO, Sirius International B.V.<\/cite>\n <\/blockquote>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
