Success STory

Turning wind-downs into win-wins

When two Swiss clients - Pragmatica AG and Suixtrade AG - decided to exit their Singapore entities, the expected route was closure. Silberstein + Partners saw a better path.

Instead of liquidating, Silberstein + Partners proactively identified suitable buyers for both companies, managing the full process from early outreach to handover. In both cases, the buyers - Paltea AG and AIK Technik AG - gained immediate access to operational platforms in Singapore, avoiding the cost and complexity of a new setup. For the sellers, this meant avoiding the time, costs, and administrative burden of winding down a company.

By understanding the needs of both parties, Silberstein + Partners facilitated solutions that created long-term value - not just transactions. We ensured that the outcome was right for people, business, and bottom lines.

Our approach

Pioneering new ways to identify and capture value

Our approach is guided by a laser focus on maximising value.

Value generation is the foundation of our approach across the deal lifecycle from M&A and portfolio strategy, to deal sourcing, preparation, valuation and due diligence, to transaction execution and negotiation, and complex integration or separation projects.

We have deep, cross-industry experience handling transactions for clients, and we are constantly pioneering ways to identify and capture additional pre-deal and post-deal value.

In addition to following industry best practice and processes, we often apply a range of proprietary processes and novel initiates that seize additional value and growth opportunities from a transaction, depending on deal stage, timeframe, value potential, and scope.

A disciplined and rigorous pursuit of value

Any decision made before, during, and after a transaction should be anchored in a clear strategic rationale, supported by a value case. We are relentless in bringing this rigour to the transaction team to ensure every single decision contributes to the overall value creation thesis.

Training your army instead of bringing ours

We find that clients gain the most value when we build, rather than replace, their capabilities. Our approach relies heavily on getting to know your organisation and leveraging your capabilities to get work done, without pretending to know your business better than you.

Going beyond best practice and box ticking

We apply best practices but understand that there are many different ways to get things done. Our flexible, tailored approach goes much further towards creating buy-in, prioritising work, and solving resource constraints. We don’t get fixated on frameworks, tools and templates.

Bringing the ability to genuinely innovative

We work at an exciting intersection of growth and innovation. This enables us to add value via novel solutions. For example uncovering hidden synergies with custom GPTs, unlocking human potential with co-creation, or predicting market behaviour with neuroscience.

Applying a people and culture-first approach

It is well known that most transactions fail to deliver their anticipated value. Our people and culture-first approach to value creation significantly reduces this risk and is proven to establish a sustainable foundation for future growth.

Sustaining deal value via a go-to-market reboot

A company and its value proposition are often transformed by a deal. Our exceptional, high-energy team is able to make a profound contribution to sustainable growth via a renewed go-to-market strategy implemented using our ACT-ONTM framework.
