LIFT Off: Imperial Capital

Financial Market Trends and Opportunities Across the Advanced Manufacturing & Supply Chain Sector

The vibrant advanced manufacturing and supply chain ecosystem, sometimes dubbed “Industry 4.0” continues to be a sector that a lot of investors have keen interest in and one where sector players are constantly on the look-out for ways to expand their offering and innovation, often times through acquisition.

This presentation will give an overview of current valuations in the sector as well as trends in accessing funding for businesses in the universe as well as mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”) trends.  For those not looking to raise capital or participate in M&A at this time, these insights are still helpful to understand how your Company’s competitors may be taking advantage of these tools.

For any owners and/or key executives in the sector this will be an opportunity to:

1. Learn about current valuation trends of similar companies;
2. Observe how Companies are financing themselves as well as how mergers and acquisitions is shaping the competitive landscape and;
3. Assess opportunities to i.) finance growth ii.) acquire other companies and iii.) consider part or full monetization opportunities.

Imperial Capital’s Managing Director Kevin Frisch will outline sub-sector and macro trends across the Industry 4.0 Landscape, discuss the current capital markets and M&A environment as it specifically relates to manufacturing and related verticals and also provide insight into how companies can best access capital, approach companies of interest to acquire as well as best prepare for a potential sale.
