For those types of companies there is usually only a limited number of potential buyers. Selling the business to competing companies (strategic buyers) often entails significant risks both for the manufacturing site and the employees.

The CMG model benefits all those involved
The former owner, who wants to settle succession issues.
He or she knows that his or her life’s work is in good hands and that jobs at the company are safe. CMG is a long-term investor that does not want to break up, merge or resell his or her company in a few years’ time.
The new managing director, who wants to take on the company.
He or she takes on an established company with a strong corporation as a partner. The holding company structure allows him or her to act with full responsibility, but he or she can also fall back on the expertise of the Industrial Transformation Group.
The workforce, who can depend on the fact that the company’s established, successful identity will be retained
Selling to an owner like CMG ensures continuity and stability. Meanwhile, new impetus breathes new life into the company, securing its future.

Customers, suppliers and banks can continue to benefit from their trusting business relationships, which have often been built up over decades.
