Full Credential Description

CMD Limited, a Rotherham-based designer and manufacturer of power distribution and ergonomic solutions, faced the challenge of being a non-core asset within IDEAL Industries, Inc. The company, which employs 158 people and has been a market leader since 1988, needed to navigate a strategic divestiture to focus on its core business areas. The sale to Rubicon Partners Advisors LLP was essential for CMD to continue its expansion and innovation in response to renewed demand for high-quality workplace products. RSM's M&A and due diligence team provided a comprehensive solution that included preparing carve-out financials and a financial factbook, identifying suitable purchasers, negotiating deal aspects, and managing the project to completion. This meticulous approach allowed IDEAL to concentrate on growth and innovation in its primary markets while ensuring a smooth transition for CMD. The successful transaction not only secured a new home for CMD but also facilitated IDEAL's focus on its key products. The deal exemplified RSM's capability to manage complex transactions involving multiple stakeholders, ultimately delivering a favorable outcome for both CMD and IDEAL.
