EQVA follows a systematic process to identify potential acquisition candidates. Aligned with our decentralized business model, we seek companies that can enhance our existing operations and offer opportunities to secure leading market positions.
A significant decision that requires time and careful consideration
The process of achieving a successful acquisition is rarely quick. It is common for this to take several months or even longer, allowing both parties to thoroughly understand each other before completing the transaction. This approach reduces the risk of misunderstandings or unmet expectations, fosters trust, and ensures that both parties, as well as the employees, are satisfied with the outcome.
A proven model for identifying, implementing and successfully integrating and developing companies
EQVA ASA follows a structured process to identify potential acquisition candidates, with several steps aimed at finding the most promising opportunities. Throughout the acquisition process, we focus on developing actionable value creation plans for the companies we acquire.
The first critical step is identifying specific industrial segments, or “product verticals,” that present attractive acquisition opportunities. These segments are chosen based on several key criteria. Learn more
In parallel, we analyze our end customers and assess the market landscape, evaluating both the existing market size and the potential for expansion into new customer segments.
With this framework in place, we continuously screen companies to identify attractive candidates. To be a good strategic fit, a company should meet as many criteria as possible. In addition to aligning with our strategy, candidates must also meet specific company-level requirements to be considered a strong acquisition prospect. Learn more
