Situational samples

If you are considering making your business and/or assets available to the right acquisition opportunity, but are unsure if Ice’s acquisition strategies appropriately fit your particular situation, the following case study overviews might provide some helpful perspective.

Division Acquisition

Ice purchased the stamping division of a large integrated publically held manufacturer that was slated for closing. The business was saved in its original location and integrated into Ice Industries. Ice entered into a long-term supply agreement and continues to have a strong supply arrangement with this customer.

Family Business Acquisition

Ice purchased a beloved business from a private owner. This owner was focused on the continued operation of this company in its current location. This business continues to be operated and its associates continue to prosper in its original location.

Bankruptcy Acquisition

Ice acted as the stalking horse purchaser in a bankruptcy proceeding and succeeded as the ultimate purchaser, successfully navigating the complicated rules and procedures of bankruptcy law. This facility continues to operate and has benefitted from millions of dollars of Ice investments made in facility and equipment improvement.

Turnaround Acquisition

Ice provided management and capital in advance of the closing in the form of a management agreement to insure customer continuity of supply and ultimately purchased the business. Its subsequent turnaround has been a great success and enhancement to Ice’s offerings.

International Acquisition

Ice purchased operations in Mexico to add to its North American capabilities and is now a premier supplier in northern Mexico to a number of markets.

De-integration Acquisition

Ice purchased all stamping assets and inventories from a company owned by a fund. The de-integration allowed the seller to focus on their core processes. Ice’s involvement insured a smooth transition and no disruption of customer operations.

Foreclosure Asset Acquisition

Ice has purchased a number of groups of assets from financial institutions that have found they own excess equipment. This has allowed Ice to enter new metal forming businesses and expand our capabilities while assisting the banks we have dealt with in the repositioning and sale of surplus items.
