Happy Holden calls it "Engineering Economics," and dedicated a chapter in his book, 24 Essential Skills for Engineers, to the subject.
Punching Out: Should You Sell Your Company to a Private Equity Firm?
11/19/2024 | Tom Kastner -- Column: Punching Out!I am often asked by owners in the electronics industry about using private equity (PE) firms as potential buyers. It’s true that PE firms have completed a lot of deals in the PCB and EMS industries over the years. In fact, two of the largest U.S. PCB shops—Summit Interconnect and AdvancedPCB—are owned by private equity firms, as are EMS companies, including Creation Technologies, SMTC, EmeraldEMS, East West Manufacturing, and others. More than half my deals are with PE firms, either as buyers for our sell-side deals or as clients on acquisition projects.
