(IMAP) has been ranked 4th globally among

Results for 2007 show IMAP placed 4th for
global deals with a value of over $50 million (based on volume of

No. 6 in Europe, No. 7 in the U.S., No. 6 in Eastern Europe, No. 9 in

“IMAP moved up several levels in 2007 on most
of the Thomson league tables,” explains Karl
Fesenmeyer, IMAP president. “IMAP
transaction advisors had a strong year in 2007, and have a good backlog
of projects for 2008.” The 2007 results
demonstrate IMAP’s global coverage in a manner
most meaningful to clients to complete M&A transactions. It was a record
year for IMAP offices and the outlook for 2008 is strong despite
unsettled global capital markets.
ESG and the IMAP advantage
Core Capital’s
Electronics and Semiconductor Group (ESG) has been a member of IMAP
for over 6 years. “ESG has seen a similar
trend to IMAP overall, only on a smaller scale,”
says Loren Lancaster, ESG managing director. “Over
the past few years, we’ve really seen a rise
in our domestic and international activity –
both in the number of deals and in the value. Many mid–size
companies are still very active and producing strong results. Our
experienced team has been very successful in negotiating strong deals
for both buyers and sellers globally. IMAP helps our organization
maintain an international presence, as well as be a strong player in the
technology industry.”
