Vendor Due Diligence (VDD)

The family shareholding of a supplier of critical components for the space and defence industry has initiated a divestment process. While several buyers were interested, uncertainties about positioning and growth potential had to be resolved.

Challenge

Clarify the positioning of a complex technology, which the company is the only one to master at the European level, and evaluate the associated competitive or substitution risks.

Determine the potential of new products for markets that have so far used alternative solutions.

Solution

Alba & Co has mobilised its experts’ network, and company’s clients, to deliver several complex analyses confirming: i) the strong positioning and  the growth potential of existing products in relation to the production rates of the programs served, ii) the competitiveness of new products compared to existing solutions.
