OEM Capital assisted Halma PLC in its acquisition of Oerlikon Optics. This is the third acquisition in the optical and photonics industries that we have helped Halma complete. Previously, we assisted in its acquisitions of Ocean Optics and Labsphere.

As a result of our involvement, Halma was able to conclude transactions where there is strong synergy with existing operations and where acquisitions are expected to be accretive to earnings.

Our success with Halma illustrates that superior results can be realized by a well-executed approach by merger and acquisition professionals who are knowledgeable about the industry and the goals of both industry buyers and sellers, with expertise in successfully completing cross-border transactions.
