Calash is pleased to announce that it provided commercial due diligence support to Averroes Capital on its acquisition of Glacier Energy, a specialist provider of products, services and engineered solutions for renewable and conventional energy markets.
Averroes Capital has acquired the business from incumbent institutional investors Maven Capital and Simmons Parallel Energy Fund, which had first invested in Glacier when formed in 2011. The incoming investor will also provide growth capital to allow Glacier to invest in strategic growth initiatives.
Calash’s commercial due diligence focused on assessing the company’s key renewables and conventional energy end markets, its growth strategy, competitive positioning, its products, services and operations, and a customer and market referencing exercise.
“It was great to work with Calash. The team was responsive, professional and highly knowledgeable, providing critical commercial due diligence that really made a difference to our understanding of Glacier and its growth journey. We look forward to working with them again in the future.”
