An experienced captain brings you to your destination quickly and safely! |  | Shareholders found for Chemical Distribution Company | | The chemistry is right, particularly for a company that deals with and distributes chemicals! For almost ten years, PCM Products GmbH has been active around the world as a distribution company for chemical products specialising in a niche area. A change in the ownership structure became necessary as the former chief supplier and the co-partner passed over from one generation to the next. On April 27, 2011, axanta AG was tasked to find a buyer for a 46% stake in the company. Using axanta’s own database, a broker from axanta AG was able to commence negotiations quickly with a number of interested parties from the chemical industry. During the course of these discussions, however, it became clear that these parties were only interested in a majority takeover. The broker network was able to identify Heinrich Heller as somebody who was interested in a minority stake holding. Mr. Heller brings with him extensive professional experience to the company: he has been a commercial manager, managing director of various international companies and, from 2010, has acted as a receivables management business consultant. After intensive discussions, Mr. Heller submitted an offer of 30% on the proviso that the three original shareholders took on the English partner’s remaining 16%. The notary contract was signed on November 4, 2011 after an agreement was reached. As the scope of Mr. Heller’s contribution was in line with the operational requirements of PCM Products GmbH, the arrangement of a “minority stake and flexitime work in the company” was seen as a win-win solution by all those involved. |
