M&A-Related Market and Location Advisory

M&A-Related Market and Location Advisory

During acquisitions, mergers, or site closures, companies require a fast, neutral, and fact-based assessment of market potential, site perspectives, and strategic risks. PM&P combines market analyses, site evaluations, and forward-looking scenarios to support M&A processes.

PM&P analyzes markets, customer structures, competitors, and industry trends to determine whether a company or site is strategically meaningful. Additionally, key site factors such as labor availability, cost structures, technological capabilities, infrastructure, and regional development prospects are assessed.


A particular focus is placed on future viability, market risks, potential growth options, and transformation opportunities. PM&P conducts interviews with regional stakeholders such as economic development agencies, chambers of commerce, potential customers, or suppliers to validate the assessments.


When sites face closure or are subject to acquisition, PM&P develops reuse scenarios, potential assessments, and sector options. All results are clearly structured, neutral, and suitable for internal or external stakeholders.
