Headpoint Advisors is delighted to announce a cooperation agreement with Transition Corporate Finance as part of the aim of expanding our international reach to provide greater local M&A intelligence and execution capability for our clients.

Transition Corporate Finance (TCF), based in Amsterdam, was founded by seasoned dealmakers Willem op de Hoek, Daan Zandbergen and veteran Axel Fuhri Snethlage – a team with nearly 50 years of combined experience executing cross-border merger and acquisition transactions. Axel was a longstanding board member of IMAP Global and has vast experience in building and managing global partnerships.

TCF is an independent corporate finance boutique specialized in M&A and other strategic financial advisory. With a balanced and thorough business understanding and a proactive strategy, they operate in the Dutch and international mid-market, focusing on transactions of between EUR 5 – 100+ million.

Recent transactions advised by TCF include the sale of Rolan Robotics, one of the largest suppliers of robotic systems in the Benelux to Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed Daihen Corporation, and two separate acquisitions for Jansen Recycling Group, a 90 year old family business, of Windmill Metal Group and Circular Marine Technologies.

The collaboration marks a very exciting opportunity for both firms to generate incremental bilateral deal flow as well as broaden our reach to global strategic acquirors and other pools of investment capital for our clients. This represents an important step for both firms in creating a wider international partner platform leveraging on the experience in global partnerships of both Axel Fuhri Snethlage and Mark Wilson, who was formerly a board member of Mergers Alliance.

Mark Wilson, Managing Partner, Headpoint said: “This cooperation agreement marks an important milestone for our business, formalising our international aspirations with a highly complementary partner firm. The individual partners at Transition Corporate Finance closely share our values in terms of integrity and providing high quality, results orientated advice as well as a focus on private companies in the mid-market. We are very excited to work with Axel, Willem and Daan and the rest of the TCF team.”

Axel Fuhri Snethlage, Chairman, Transition Corporate Finance said: Our experience is that when it comes to cross-border deals, working with a local partner adds significant value for the client. That is why I am delighted to collaborate with Headpoint, a highly skilled and professional M&A partner in a market that is very important for Dutch companies. We look forward to working closely with Mark, Emmet, our old friend Andy and the other members of the Headpoint team”
