Sale of Rosti Nederland to Helvoet Holding
Rosti Group is a manufacturer of high-precision plastic parts to the electrical, medi-
cal, automotive and food packaging industries. During strategy discussions with
them it became clear to our Swedish partner firm Avantus Corporate Finance, that
their Dutch operations did not have many synergies with the rest of the company.
HCF Small Cap Advisory was introduced to Rosti Group, was mandated and ran
a smooth sales process on their behalf. Because of an earlier transaction HCF
Small Cap Advisory had good insights in Helvoet's strategy. Helvoet was shortlisted
as a potential buyer and at the end emerged as ultimate buyer of Rosti's Dutch
operations.

gic goals. Throughout the process Holland Corporate Finance and Closa worked
