Sale of Omnicol in a management buyout transaction

Omnicol has been a family business ever since it was established in 1956. The company specializes in professional solutions for bonding construction materials and offers a broad range of products for the construction industry, such as power tile adhesives and decoupling membranes.

Omnicol products and systems enjoy a high level of brand recognition in the Netherlands and in Belgium. For that reason, besides having a head office in Belgium, the company also has one sales office in each country, which ensures that the products make their way to clients.

Due to its promising future, the active shareholders decided to engage in a management buyout process.

How we helped

PwC Corporate Finance acted as the exclusive financial advisor to the shareholders of Carpe Diem II, in the sale of Omnicol to its management. We helped the company to engage on its development path by allowing the “active” shareholders to buy the shares from the “inactive” shareholders through a fair process for all parties.
