Transaction
This acquisition matches PALFINGER's strategy to grow through internationalisation and diversification. MBB will considerably strengthen PALFINGER's TAIL LIFT product division, which is still very small. At the moment, PALFINGER only covers a small area with PALGATE tail lift and RATCLIFF products. With MBB PALFINGER will be able to complete its product portfolio and to enter markets in which PALFINGER is not yet represented with its tail lifts such as North America.
Task
HSCie advised PALFINGER AG in the entire take over process, including due diligence examinations and conducting the negotiations with the vendors.
