The opportunity

Metalcaucho was a respected Iberian distributor of automotive aftermarket components with an exceptional product breadth, but limited reach in Northern Europe and an under-invested digital channel.

What we did

We invested in international sales infrastructure, professionalised procurement and the supply chain, and accelerated the rollout of digital catalogues for repair shops and distributors. We also led two selective bolt-on acquisitions to expand product range.

Outcome

Exited in 2019 to a global strategic acquirer with the company positioned as a category platform across Europe.
