Case Study
Background: An investor new to the industry was searching for an existing brand purchase opportunity. A confidential manufacturer was ready to spin off one of its non-core sports accessories divisions and was in the process of diverting resources away from the division, causing a possible talent drain.
Key Activities
First, we conducted in-depth market research and analysis for the investor, and presented a comprehensive report outlining the division's competitive advantages, positioning, and weaknesses.
We recommended future product innovation ideas, a possible reshoring option, and operational efficiency. Most important to this operation was the invaluable matchmaking services based on our extensive contact network between the manufacturer and the highly motivated investor seeking presence in the sports industry.
Outcome
The investor acquired the business infrastructure and infused it with his vision for significant growth potential, while the manufacturer successfully streamlined its operations and focused on its core competencies.
This case study demonstrates the value of the Clovis Henzen Consulting network of industry contacts and the value of maintaining a pulse on the market. This is one more example of how we unlock value within the sports accessories market, providing strategic guidance and facilitating successful business operations.
