GLGA is hosting an M&A Focus Forum on Thursday, April 11, 2019, at Midland Paper, Packaging & Supplies in Milwaukee, WI. Jim Russell and Al Reijmer of New Direction Partners will be discussing the mergers and acquisitions market.
In today’s print market, organic growth is hard to come by. In an industry that is still contracting, and with buyers and marketers who have less time to meet with new vendors (your sales people), organic growth is a serious challenge for most printing companies and their sales teams. For the last few years, the team at New Direction Partners has been advising that printers who are struggling with organic growth should be either a buyer or a seller … And that is still the case today.
Which one should you be? Is your company positioned properly to effectively manage a “tuck in” of new business and grow through acquisition, or should you be considering the sale of your company to another firm better positioned to help you grow your revenue? And if so, how do you determine your company’s value?
In this session you will:
- Identify the key traits and characteristics of businesses that should be buying other companies,
- Learn which types of businesses might be better suited to merging with or selling to a friendly competitor,
- Find out how values are determined in those transactions, and
- End with a few guidelines for ensuring your business has the best value.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from M&A experts and gain insight that can benefit your company. The program includes lunch.
