THE ASPEN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
The Aspen International Group, Inc. ("Aspen") is a full service firm providing comprehensive consultation for the building product manufacturing and distribution industries. Our primary clients are building product manufacturers of all types with a niche specialization in dealing with manufacturers of windows, doors and component products. Our clients sell to the remodeler, contractor, dealer, distributor and DIY channels or, on an OEM component basis to fenestration product fabricators. Aspen advises clients in several disciplines including Mergers & Acquisitions, Executive Search, Marketing & Financial Counseling and Strategic Planning.
Our firm is composed of two entities: The Aspen Consulting Group and Aspen Executive Search.
The Aspen Consulting Group is involved with corporate development and deals with acquisitions, joint ventures and divestitures of business units for either the buyer or the seller. The consulting activities include helping to divest of corporate business units, locating buyers for family businesses upon retirement, or with internal problems; and helping financial buyers expand or locate key companies to platform into significant market segments. Aspen Consulting Group also works with companies under financial stress to develop strategies to improve operations and enhance performance. We can assist in the financing of the business, perform market research, help restructure manufacturing and assist with strategic planning.
The Aspen Executive Search division provides national recruiting of executive management and other personnel involved in marketing, sales, manufacturing, engineering, finance and in other skill areas. For over 25 years Aspen Executive Search has been successful in matching the requirements of its clients with highly qualified candidates. We have over 30,000 people in our database files and have the sources to locate candidates with any needed expertise.
The principals and associates of Aspen each have over 30 years of successful and varied business experience in merger and acquisition and executive search consulting.
The Aspen International Group is pleased to offer its consulting services to firms who need management counseling or who are planning to expand through acquisition or divest of their operations. Aspen also offers services to manufacturers and financial investment groups who are looking to invest capital in firms with growth potential or which fit synergistically into their portfolios. Helping family businesses divest of their holdings while maintaining the best tax advantages or to help in management buyouts is our expertise.
Aspen Executive Search has the capability to solve any problem areas within a firms management structure. By searching through our data network of over 30,000 industry related candidates, we can easily find personnel with the exact background and experience needed. For financial and strategic buyers, Aspen can protect their investment by locating key operational management prior to the acquisition to help with due diligence and later to manage the growth of the operation. In fact, Aspen is actually capable of re-staffing the entire company after the acquisition with personnel of the exact backgrounds and experience needed.
Our fees are based upon a contingency (and in some cases non contingency) basis for executive search and as per the Lehman Fee scale for mergers, acquisitions and corporate development, with an hourly or flat fee project basis for counseling and financial structuring. A retainer is not always necessary but is suggested for M&A representation or for confidential search assignments.
The Aspen International Group maintains the strictest level of ethics and protective confidence regarding information involved in our consulting and executive search assignments and will always try to put our clients in the best competitive position in all of our projects.
