“We selected SSP to broaden the circle of possible buyers for our IT-services company matrix technology AG, to develop a stable future for customers, employees and stakeholders. The outcome was a full success. Looking back, we are very satisfied with the crucial role Arno and Ingo played in finding the right setup for this transaction. They treated our data confidentially and helped us to gain more insight into possible strategic buyers, also internationally. Surely, we’ll use SSP service in the future for other deals where we act as investors and counselors for our buy & build strategy."

They acted highly professional, were creative in terms of buyers universe and strong in execution. The highest degree of trust and reliability in each situation was most important to us. Always a pleasure working with these guys!"

The negotiations had been tough and challenging, but they always guided me safely through this process with strategic foresight and strong negotiating skills. Top performance from start to finish.”
