We advised the management of Kiwa

Inspecta Estonia OÜ, part of the international enterprise Kiwa, needed to acquire Metrex Mõõtekeskus OÜ, a company specializing in calibration and inspection of measuring instruments. The acquisition required comprehensive pre-sale company audit encompassing financial, legal, and tax aspects to identify risks and inform negotiation strategy and purchase-sale agreement drafting.

Grant Thornton Baltic's consulting team conducted a thorough pre-sale company audit of Metrex Mõõtekeskus OÜ in preparation for the acquisition. The engagement encompassed comprehensive financial, legal, and tax analysis. The advisory team identified risks that needed to be considered during negotiation and the drafting of the purchase-sale agreement. The team provided integrated advisory services across multiple disciplines to ensure a complete understanding of the target company and potential transaction risks.

Grant Thornton Baltic successfully completed the pre-acquisition audit of Metrex Mõõtekeskus OÜ, identifying key risks and providing Inspecta Estonia OÜ with the information needed to proceed with negotiations and finalize the purchase-sale agreement. The engagement enabled Inspecta Estonia to make an informed acquisition decision as part of Kiwa's growth strategy. Kiwa, which employs over 10,000 individuals across more than 40 countries and is ranked among the top 20 global organizations in the testing, technical inspection, and certification (TIC) sector, was able to expand its service offerings in Estonia through this acquisition.
