Capacity Expansion Project

A domestic aluminum rolling mill engaged Rider Opportunity Group to expand its casting and rolling capacity in North America. We conducted a global search to identify facilities operating comparable aluminum sheet technology.

A suitable plant was located in northern India that had been developed as a joint venture. Rider Opportunity Group acquired the production equipment on behalf of our client and managed dismantling, packaging, logistics, and all import/export documentation.

The equipment was delivered to the United States within eight months of project launch at approximately 20% of new replacement cost.

Private Treaty Sale

A leading private label diaper manufacturer engaged Rider Opportunity Group to support a strategic expansion of its core operations in North America. We conducted a targeted global market review to identify qualified buyers operating similar technology.

A limited group of manufacturers was identified and approached directly. The assets were sold through a private treaty process across three negotiated transactions managed on behalf of our client.

The process maximized recovery value and allowed all transactions to close successfully on schedule despite a compressed timeline.

Add on Acquisition

A domestic aluminum sheet manufacturing company engaged Rider Opportunity Group to expand capacity, enter new markets, and position production closer to key customers. Management determined that an acquisition would be faster than building new capacity organically.

Leveraging industry relationships, Rider Opportunity Group identified a small group of companies that met the acquisition criteria. One strategic fit emerged, and negotiations were conducted directly with the seller.

The transaction to acquire the business and rolling mill assets was successfully negotiated and closed within ninety days.

Adaptive Reuse

A Canadian brewery engaged Rider Opportunity Group to monetize surplus stainless steel rail tank cars that were no longer needed and generating ongoing storage costs. The assets had become difficult to sell due to industry shifts toward larger capacity equipment.

Rider Opportunity Group identified alternative users and repositioned the assets as mobile chemical storage tanks. This approach created a new market by highlighting their flexibility versus traditional stationary storage.

The strategy unlocked buyer demand, eliminated carrying costs, and resulted in successful sales to multiple customers within the chemical industry
