I've been kissing a lot of frogs the past few years looking for deals, but World Class Displays checked almost every box for us and we finally found our Prince Charming. And Benchmark was integral in a smooth transaction. They helped us negotiate the deal in a way that was fair to both sides, ran the data room, and then kept us on a steady march towards close with a weekly meeting. This transaction is a huge win for us and I hope we can do more deals together. 10/10 would recommend."

The appointment is part of Benchmark International’s ongoing strategy to accelerate its global growth and service innovation.Erwartungen für Fusionen und Übernahmen im mittleren Marktsegment im Jahr 2025Jüngste Umfragen haben gezeigt, dass die M&A-Aussichten für das Jahr 2025 den größten Optimismus der letzten Jahre in Bezug auf Geschäftsabschlüsse erkennen lassen. Die 14. jährliche Umfrage der Citizens Bank unter mehr als 400 Führungskräften des Mittelstands und Private-Equity-Investoren in den Vereinigten Staaten ergab, dass ein günstiges wirtschaftliches Umfeld ein Hauptgrund dafür ist, dass Unternehmen und Investoren im Jahr 2025 nach M&A-Strategien suchen werden. Außerdem haben sich die Unsicherheiten der letzten Jahre gelegt, und die Bewertungen werden als stabil oder höher als in den vergangenen Jahren eingeschätzt. Kleinere mittelständische Unternehmen gehen indes zurückhaltender vor, und viele Verkäufer entscheiden sich für den Verkauf eines Teils ihres Unternehmens und nicht für einen Komplettverkauf. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die befragten Entscheidungsträger für das Jahr 2025 ein Wirtschaftswachstum und eine höhere Rate an M&A-Transaktionen erwarten.
