Eight Advisory supported IK Partners on the acquisition of a minority stake in A-SAFE GROUP

The Eight Advisory UK team provided buyside financial and tax due diligence to IK Partners on its acquisition of a minority stake in A-SAFE GROUP, a leading global manufacturer and distributor of industrial polymer safety barrier systems, from the founding family who remain significantly invested.

A-SAFE was founded in 1984 and is headquartered in Yorkshire. The company manufactures a wide range of polymer-based products used in factories and warehouses across the world to protect both people and assets from collisions with vehicles such as forklifts. The company employs over 700 people, more than 80 of whom are committed in research and development. A-SAFE has achieved significant organic growth and today serves more than 6,000 customers in over 50 countries. Its diversified customer base includes some of the largest companies in the world, including Coca-Cola, UPS and Amazon.

 

With the support of IK Partners and its dedicated Partnership Fund, which focuses on minority investments in established, fast-growing companies, A-SAFE is poised for further growth. The management team, led by James and Luke Smith, together with the expertise and resources of IK Partners, aim to consolidate their leading position in the market whilst expanding their global reach, enhancing their product offering and increasing value for their clients.
