Industrial Growth
The dramatic increase in the amount of products produced outside of the United States has placed great pressures on manufacturing companies but has also provided them with once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Whether battling low-cost manufacturing in China or exploring offshoring in India, Fort Dearborn’s Industrial Growth Team has the experience and expertise to execute superior transactions on behalf of our clients.
“Disruptive new technologies have driven mergers and acquisitions for many years and in unexpected ways. For example, after the continuous process cigarette machine was developed, American Tobacco Company was able to consolidate the cigarette industry, ultimately acquiring over 200 companies. This type of tectonic change is taking place in nearly every industry today and our Industrial Growth group is positioned to help our clients take advantage of opportunities they may have.”
