Deal Card: Pentagon Chemicals
BDO Corporate Finance has recently advised Pentagon Chemicals on an investment by Maven Capital Partners under the Capital for Enterprise Fund, which is a £75m fund backed by the Government and major banks. BDO has been working closely with Pentagon and, as well as providing corporate finance and taxation advice in relation to the investment, it has also assisted the business with a number of strategic issues. Pentagon was established in 2002 by an MBO from Dow Chemical and has a turnover of £40m, employing 160 staff. It is an innovative manufacturer of contract chemicals that are used by the petro-chemical, agro-chemical, paper, fuel additives and pharmaceutical industries.
"The new investment will underpin Pentagon's growth strategy, enabling more aggressive business development by supporting the new product pipeline and high-return capital projects."
Allan Laing, Chief Executive
