Casella Holdings Limited – an instrumental (i)deal

Our M&A team has successfully advised on the corporate carve out and sale of Casella Holdings Limited (Casella), a subsidiary of IDEAL Industries, Inc (IDEAL) to TSI Instruments Limited (TSI).

The client

Established in 1799 and based in Bedford, UK, with a presence in the US, China, and India, Casella is a global leader in the occupational hygiene and environmental monitoring market. It manufactures a range of test, measurement, and monitoring instrumentation, including real-time dust monitors, personal sampling pumps, sound level meters, vibration monitors, and outdoor boundary monitoring systems.

The sale represents a strategic divestiture of a non-core asset by IDEAL, a global manufacturer of professional electrician products, high power density connectors, and superior charging systems, to TSI, a subsidiary of Minnesota-based TSI Incorporated, an industry leader in the design and production of precision instruments.

RSM’s solution

Our M&A team advised the IDEAL Board on the transaction, using our deep sector knowledge to package the opportunity and identify suitable purchasers, managing a discreet process and negotiating all aspects of the deal. The sale of Casella adds to a growing number of corporate carve-outs we have advised on while building our credentials in regulatory-driven markets across health and safety.
