Transaction Details:

ACS has historically represented European Companies, mostly UK based, who were interested in expanding their operations into North America.  As a result of our strategic advisory work for Chemring we learned that they would be interested in divesting the McMurdo Marine Lights division.  We offered to broker the deal between Daniamant Limited and Chemring, made the introduction and made friends on all sides of the deal.
