We were engaged by the shareholders of Sella Controls to explore the proposed exit of one of the significant minority shareholders and support the remaining shareholders’ growth aspirations.

Sella Controls is one of the UK’s leading systems integrators specialising in the design, installation and maintenance of functional safety and process control systems. They work across high-risk and high-security environments specialising in the rail, O&G, chemicals and nuclear sectors.

The current shareholders joined the business through a management-buy-in in 2007. The business grew significantly under their ownership, and is now recognised as an international functional safety and process control systems expert with a suite of trademarked products and world leading expertise.

It’s a win-win-Situation for HIMA and Sella Controls, with multiple synergies: HIMA will benefit from the long-term experience of Sella Controls in the development of solutions for the rail industry and we at Sella Controls will be able to utilise HIMA’s global sales and service to boost our international business. The whole transaction experience was made simpler by working with an adviser who understood our requirements and vision for the future from the get-go. The deal team instilled us with confidence and our business always felt like it was in safe hands. We’re looking forward to what the future holds.
