Manufacturing, Industrial and Engineering (MIE)

Manufacturing, Industrial and Engineering businesses (MIE) face both significant challenges (competition from home and abroad, margin pressure, volatility in commodity prices, exchange rate fluctuations and political and economic uncertainty to name but a few) and also significant opportunities (new global markets and geographies and new technologies).

At Mazars we have assisted many businesses and their shareholders, helping them to navigate through their challenges and to fully explore their opportunities – and ultimately to help them achieve both their business and personal objectives. We can provide strategic support and have significant transactional experience to implement any preferred options (acquisition search and support; raising finance; equity release; and exit planning and execution).
