About the transaction

Plexus Systems was a logical investment for Apax Partners by expanding their on-demand solutions portfolio. Plexus Systems employs an “on-demand”, or “Software as a Service” (SaaS), delivery model that allows its single, standard code base to be accessed and shared by multiple customers via the Internet. The Plexus Online™ automates the business processes of mid-market discrete manufacturers, principally within the mission-critical areas of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning applications (ERP).

Corum gained a true understanding of our company and then went out and found the right type of potential buyers, companies that we would have never found on our own. Once a suitable buyer was established, Corum guided us carefully through the complex M&A process. Ultimately, Corum helped us to not only achieve our financial goals, but to exceed them.
