Hosokawa

Background

To further focus its strategic efforts, Hosokawa Micron International Inc. decided to sell its Hosokawa Bepex Division. Hosokawa Micron International is a majority-owned subsidiary of Hosokawa Micron Corporation, a publicly-traded company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The Company

Located in Minneapolis, MN, Hosokawa Bepex Division is engaged in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing, selling and servicing powder and particle processing and compaction equipment, products, and systems, and providing aftermarket services and sales.

The Solution

KPMG Corporate Finance conducted a competitive process to identify the optimal counter-parties that would enable the parent company to achieve its objectives in this complex “carve-out” transaction. KPMG developed significant interest through a controlled auction, coordinated management meetings and due diligence, and assisted the Company in successfully negotiating a transaction with a private investor and the management team of Hosokawa Bepex Division.
