SITUATION
Seale & Associates was retained by the owner of Grupo Chen to advise on a sale of the company as part of succession planning. Grupo Chen produces, markets and distributes dairy products, including cheese, yogurt, butter, and dairy cream with a market leadership position in Northern Mexico.
OUTCOME
Seale managed a preferred buyer process with Sigma Alimentos, while maintaining the option to initiate a competitive auction process with other interested strategic buyers for Grupo Chen.
Seale’s disciplined approach allowed our client to maintain momentum and negotiating leverage throughout the process and ensure closing at a premium value and more favorable terms.
The process resulted in a successful acquisition of Grupo Chen by Sigma Alimentos, a subsidiary of ALFA (BMV:ALFA). Grupo Chen became Sigma’s branded dairy products growth platform for the Mexican market.
Seale gave me “peace of mind” as they expertly guided me through the sale process
"When it came time to decide on a viable succession plan for my business, I knew that none of my children were interested in taking over, and the last thing I wanted was to leave them a potential mess after I was gone. Seale gave me “peace of mind” as they expertly guided me through the sale process for my life’s work and made certain I got the very best price and terms."
