AlixPartners was instructed as lead financial adviser to Quad/Graphics, Inc. (“Quad”), a listed global marketing experience company, on the successful divestment of its European operations for €41 million to Capmont GmbH ("Capmont"), a private capital investment manager based in Germany. 

Our Industrials M&A team, led by Partner & Managing Director Nick Wood and Director Utsav Patel, partnered with Quad’s management to develop an attractive equity story based on a robust business plan, which demonstrates the strategic growth initiatives under pursuit by the business. 

We leveraged our sector knowledge and extensive buyer network, providing expertise and innovative deal solutions throughout the sale process, resulting in a transaction that delivered a top-end valuation to Quad and transferred the business into the hands of a well-suited European partner. 

“The AlixPartners team demonstrated significant deal experience and expertise to support Quad and the Target management team to deliver a great result. Committed, thorough, energetic and great to work with, we truly see AlixPartners as a trusted adviser and wouldn’t hesitate to lean on them again for M&A advice.”
