Welcome to Producing value*: Global Industrial Manufacturing mergers and acquisitions analysis 2005- 2007. Our report shows that deal-making in the industry has been growing strongly, both in terms of deal numbers and values. Many conglomerates are looking at strategic divestitures to simplify their business portfolios. Achieving market leadership also remains a key driver of deal activity.
We believe that deal-making in the industry will remain strong in both the near- and longer-term future, given that many sectors remain extremely fragmented. They therefore offer excellent potential for securing cost synergies, particularly among small and middle-market targets.
Our report examines the motivations driving the top 10 transactions, analyses the spread of deals throughout the world, highlights key sector trends and takes a look at the participation of private equity players. We also provide a PwC perspective on key factors for CEOs considering M&A activities and future prospects for the sector.
We hope you enjoy our report. If you have any queries about our findings, please contact us. We will be providing ongoing coverage of M&A activities in the industrial manufacturing sector in the Assembling value* quarterly review series, which
will be available for download at www.pwc.com/manufacturing.
