When the 3 owners behind PCSCHEMATIC decided to sell the company, I had dialogue with several different M&A companies. The decision to use Schrøder Translink (Claus Melgaard and Henrik Schrøder) was not difficult, they have a good insight into the industry, they have a large international network, and not least they are good and pleasant people to work with.
They found many suitable companies all over the world and guided us well through the process, from a-z and selecting the right buyer. And last but not least, negotiate the right price. We have had a fantastic collaboration and a process with good results. I can only give my warmest recommendations to others who are considering selling their company, to turn to Claus and Henrik and benefit from their expertise”
Hanne RossenFormer majority owner and CEO of PC Schematic
“When we chose that it was time to raise capital to AlfaNordic Group A/S to live out our ambitions, we went to Schrøder Translink for assistance. It quickly became clear that the right thing to do was to put the shares up for sale. In this sales process we have found that Translink’s network has been invaluable in finding suitable buyers internationally.
We experienced great interest both from Denmark and from abroad. Through a sometimes very hard process, we have had a good and constructive collaboration with Translink, which has probably been decisive for the final good result.”
