Private equity portfolios built around a thesis that has shifted often contain manufacturing assets that remain cash-generative, OEM-qualified, and operationally sound — but no longer fit the fund’s direction. These assets are neither distressed nor strategic. They are orphaned.
Selling them through a conventional M&A process is slow, disruptive, and rarely produces a clean outcome. Liquidating them destroys value and triggers IMMEX customs obligations, severance exposure, and OEM supply continuity risk that no fund wants on its balance sheet.
Technique Global Capital provides a third path.
Most industrial buyers of PE-owned assets are financial. They underwrite the EBITDA and manage the process through advisors. When cross-border complexity, IMMEX obligations, or OEM programme risk appears in diligence, they reprice or walk.
We are operators. TIMS Mexico — our active two-facility IMMEX-certified platform in Ciudad Juárez and Tijuana supplying Stellantis, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Aptiv, Magna, and Lear — was itself acquired from a corporate seller rationalising a non-core manufacturing position. We have done this from both sides of the table.
Understanding IMMEX is one thing. Operating under it is another. Technique Global Capital’s affiliated platform, TIMS Mexico, maintains two IMMEX-certified manufacturing facilities in Ciudad Juárez and Tijuana. Both are active, OEM-qualified, and supplying Tier 1 automotive programmes today.
This means when we acquire a Mexico manufacturing asset from a PE seller, we are not learning the environment. We are extending into it.
We do not require a formal process to be underway. The most productive conversations happen before a process is launched — when both sides can speak candidly about asset condition, programme status, and the realistic exit options available.
If you are a fund manager, operating partner, or M&A team member holding Mexico or North American manufacturing assets that are generating management attention without strategic return, we are a relevant conversation.
