Sector Focus
Sector Focus
Blacktrace focuses on the following sectors: Business Services, Consumer Products, Industry, Financial Services, Medical Care, and TMT.

Within our international network, sector teams continuously analyze sectors from a global perspective and chart changes. These activities give us a greater understanding of market developments and trends and strategies that will successfully increase enterprise value. This information helps us to uncover merger and acquisition opportunities and expand our network of managers within our sectors of activity. This approach allows us to offer our clients even better access to strategic and financial buyers and sellers.
When a merger or acquisition opportunity arises, in many cases the appropriate sector team in our network will already have a good general understanding of the company, its shareholders and its management team. Consequently, they also have ideas on how to increase enterprise value and which strategic or financial parties should be approached.
