Operating primarily in the Ports of Hamina-Kotka and industrial plants in the area, RP Logistics Oy and its subsidiaries form a significant player in their field. The company has extensive material handling equipment, warehouses and outdoor storage facilities, as well as a professional and committed staff of over 100 employees. The group's turnover was almost EUR 20M last year. The company plays a key role as a service provider for forest industry products in the region, such as lumber and pulp/paper producers.

Olmar focuses on investing in strategic port infrastructure, which needs more sustainable processes and investments in digitalization and automation. Petri Lempiäinen tells about the background of the acquisition. "I have managed RP Group for about a quarter of a century and have been able to work with an incredibly skilled and committed team. This is evidenced by the fact that RP Group has been successful in its field year after year. It's often not easy for an entrepreneur to give up, but Olmar shares the same responsible values with me, and that's why it was possible to make the deal. The company gets a good new principal owner. My own work continues in the role of Olmar's advisor and e.g. as chairman of the board of Fenniarail, part-owned by our family company".

"MSC Nearing €325 Million Acquisition of French Logistics Group Clasquin" In a noteworthy development, MSC, the world's largest shipping company, is in the final stages of acquiring the French logistics group Clasquin for approximately EUR 325 million. The deal, facilitated through MSC's subsidiary Shipping Agencies Services Sàrl (SAS), involves exclusive negotiations with Clasquin's main shareholders, Yves Revold and Olymp. As part of the acquisition, MSC is set to initially purchase a 42% stake in Clasquin, with plans to subsequently acquire the remaining 58%. This strategic move aligns with MSC's focus on container shipping, distinguishing it from competitors like Maersk with a stronger emphasis on land-based logistics. MSC's occasional strategic acquisitions, such as Clasquin, underscore the company's adaptability and willingness to explore opportunities that complement its broader business strategy. Unlike competitors, MSC strategically leverages acquisitions to enhance its competitive positioning in the market. The acquisition is expected to conclude in the first quarter of 2024, pending approval from competition authorities. During this period, Clasquin will continue its operations under its existing brand name. This careful timeline emphasizes a thorough approach to ensure a seamless transition and compliance with regulatory requirements. As discussions progress, Clasquin commits to providing timely updates on the acquisition's developments. This transformative deal is poised to reshape the shipping and logistics landscape, emphasizing the significance of strategic moves in a dynamic global market. #msc #shipping #industryinsights #acquisition #logistics #transport #supplychain #dgft #importer #exportersindia #export #import #shipping #freight #cargo #transportation #goods #container #india #vietnam #singapore #godigital #international #globalexpansion

Tech Operating Partner - M&A Diligence, Advisory, Product/Tech Strategy, Value Creation, Interim/Perm Exec for Private Equity
Hello PE network, A comprehensive and practical guide to Portfolio Operations driving Value Creation in every conceivable Portco function. Even though the author (William B.) intends for this to be a reference guide, I just couldn’t stop myself from going through all the 400 pages filled with practical examples of growing cash flow in a business. From assessing an investment - commercial, legal, tech, operations. financial, HR, Tax to getting through infrastructure optimization, accounting nuances, location strategy, technology build and selection, Product SKU rationalization, Sales and marketing, detailed analysis of supply chain, manufacturing & delivery logistics, HR benefits optimization, etc Details on inorganic growth (acquisitions/add-ons) and their merger aspects, along with specifics on carveouts, were also interesting. All operating partners must now have a well-rounded view of Portco operations, irrespective of their area of specialization, as the Value Creation models will be the key differentiators for all Portco exits over the next decade! Hope you all enjoy reading it as well! #privateequity #valuecreation #growthtoexit #operations
