Targeted Buyer Identification
Family-Owned Manufacturer: Sale to Strategic Acquirer
Manufacturing Sector | Sell-Side Advisory
A multi-generational, Texas-based manufacturing company engaged Westlake to run a full sell-side process. Westlake managed the end-to-end process, from materials preparation and buyer outreach through LOI negotiation and close, identifying a strategic acquirer whose values and operating philosophy aligned with the family’s legacy priorities.
Results: Successful sale to a strategic acquirer backed by a specialty insurance holding company, preserving the company’s culture and strengthening its foundation for future growth.
How We Run a Sell-Side M&A Engagement
Every transaction is different. But our process is consistent, disciplined, confidential, and built to surface maximum value at every stage.
We evaluate your business, profile, identify readiness gaps, and develop a clear picture of your company before we consider taking it to market.
We learn everything we can about your business, then build the narrative, materials and presentation to tell your story in the best possible light.
We run a targeted, confidential process to reach strategic acquirers, PE groups/firms and family offices.
We manage competing offers, protect your company and leverage and help you choose the right partner. We also help to evaluate everything from price, to terms, culture, post close asks, and more.
We stay engaged throughout the entire process, from due diligence to close, driving the deal across the finish line.

“Most owners will sell a business once in their lifetime. We’ve done it hundreds of times. That asymmetry of experience is exactly why having the right advisor at the table isn’t optional. It’s the difference between a good outcome and a great one.” — Matt Andersen, Westlake CEO
