Align Capital Partners acquired ETC from Italian parent company Atlantia SpA, and CDI Global provided them with consulting services with business and financial expertise.
Seattle, WA (Merxwire) - Align Capital Partners acquired Electronic Transaction Consultants Corporation (ETC) from the Italian parent company Atlantia SpA. JD Merit, the US branch of CDI Global, and CDI Global Italy acted as professional consultants, have successfully provided services to them, and provided relevant advice and future possibilities for the Development direction.
ETC was established in 1999 and is located in Texas. It is a provider of technology solutions, mainly using artificial intelligence (AI) and big data to meet the needs of the toll and transportation industries. As the number of toll roads in the United States is expected to increase in the next five years, ETC has the advantage to provide efficient toll efficiency, data collection, and transaction processing solutions. With Align Capital, there is an opportunity to expand its business scope to the transportation market of other cities.
Joe Durnford, Chairman of JD Merit, commented, "We were thrilled to facilitate the divestiture of ETC from Atlantia to create significant shareholder liquidity, while simultaneously positioning ETC for growth with a committed capital partner. JD Merit, together with our partners at CDI Global Italy, managed a robust process that garnered interest from both strategic and financial buyers. After analyzing dozens of offers, Atlantia selected Align Capital due to ACP's creative approach to completing the purchase in the midst of global travel restrictions, uncertain credit markets, and complex industry dynamics."
"We were excited to find a growth-oriented company to invest in the innovative toll collection technology ETC has created," said Cesare Tocchio, Managing Partner at CDI Global Italy and one of the lead advisors to ETC. "With Align Capital targeting the American state and local government technology space, the company was a good fit to further expand ETC into new and adjacent markets."
JD Merit served as the principal advisor to ETC throughout the process, working in tandem with CDI Global Italy's Cesare Tocchio and Massimiliano Morpurgo. CDI Global specializes in cross-border transactions, providing local expertise and industry specialization from their extensive network of global offices.
