Eurasia Statinvest GmbH is one of the most renowned holdings of internationally operating service and trading companies for import and brand distribution. Eurasia’s geographical focus is Asia and Europe.
Carstensen Import Export Handelsgesellschaft mbH, a subsidiary of Eurasia, was a trusted supplier of Stylex Schreibwaren GmbH for many years. Stylex is a leading supplier of office supplies in the German market but faced the problem that several shareholders did not have a successor. Eurasia was given the chance to acquire a stake from the company and thus to pursue their vertical business expansion. As part of Eurasia’s long-term buy-and-build strategy, EUROCON was asked to approach Stylex and to execute the acquisition.
The Stylex shareholder structure was complex and the ideas of the shareholders regarding their exit were very different. We worked out individual and multi-stage models for the acquisition of shares over a total period of seven years.
