Case Study: a PE firm acquires a hygiene solutions manufacturer with Messina Group's IT due diligence and strategic roadmap

International manufacturer of hygiene solutions clears 1-person MSP IT risks with Messina Group

A private equity firm sought to acquire an international manufacturer of hygiene solutions to integrate with a previous acquisition. The client required due diligence to understand the target company's IT environment and business processes before proceeding. They engaged Messina Group for an IT due diligence report to identify potential risks and opportunities.

Messina Group conducted a thorough assessment that revealed significant IT risks, including an over-reliance on a one-person MSP and a lack of modern systems. Their solution included a remediation plan to hire a qualified MSP and a strategic roadmap for post-acquisition value creation. This enabled the client to proceed with the acquisition confidently, avoiding unexpected IT risks and positioning them for future operational enhancements.
