Testimonials
Transformative experience for myself and the business
I engaged Atrico when my business was challenged to realize its full potential.
It was thanks to the experience, objectivity, and leadership with the Atrico team that my business was able to transform into a scalable, dynamic, and agile enterprise.
By helping us set clear goals and objectives, and providing guidance on structural changes to the business, we were able to realize solid growth and considerable increase in the valuation of the business.
Atrico then reached out to the market through its connections, identified potential buyers, and managed a very successful transaction that met my personal goals and the longer-term goals of the business.
The experience was personally and professionally positive, informative, and educational.
I highly recommend Atrico to anyone looking to either restructure their business for success, or to those looking to be guided through a successful transaction.

Masterful negotiation and exceptional deal execution skills
Atrico did an amazing job helping us with a trade-sale exit that exceeded our expectations. With a proven track record in mining technology, Atrico came highly recommended to us through several independent sources. They quickly understood the opportunities and challenges in our business and identified key priorities for a successful exit.
When we were ready, Atrico skillfully positioned GET Trakka with the best possible buyers and masterfully negotiated an optimal deal for us. We have learnt so much in this process and it was fantastic working with Kheong. He was insightful, had exceptional deal execution skills, and a great deal of patience.
I would recommend Atrico to any technology company looking for M&A strategy and execution.
