Harris Williams advises Stirling Square on ESE World sale

Harris Williams & Co has acted as adviser to private equity firm Stirling Square Capital Partners on the pending sale of its portfolio company ESE World to RPC Group.

ESE is a European provider of temporary waste storage solutions.
 
The pending transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2017 and is being led by Jeffery Perkins, Lars Friemann, Florian Ripperger and Konstantin Molinari of Harris Williams & Co’s Frankfurt office, as well as Patrick McNulty and Brad Morrison of the firm’s industrials group.
 
Jakob Förschner, a partner at SSCP, says: “ESE represents a true success story in the waste storage solutions market, having been transformed into Europe’s largest ‘pure-play’ waste storage solutions provider and innovation leader in its market. We are proud to have accompanied ESE on this path and are absolutely convinced that RPC Group is the right partner to support ESE’s growth in the future. Harris Williams & Co has been an excellent partner throughout the entire transaction, supporting us to achieve an outcome that exceeded our expectations. The senior-level attention, high quality work, thoughtful advice, and in-depth industry know-how were critical in making this a successful transaction.”
 
Perkins says: “ESE is an innovation leader in its market and the only company Williams & Co that has successfully developed production techniques to produce containers using up to 100 per cent recycled material. We were delighted to be able to advise SSCP and the management team on finding the right partner to continue ESE’s success story. We are convinced that together with RPC Group, Björn Hedenström and his team at ESE are well positioned to continue their growth.”
