The Valence Group is a specialist M&A boutique offering advisory services to companies and investors exclusively in the chemicals, materials and related sectors.

Our team comprises senior investment banking and industry specialists with many years of experience in our focus sectors. We act as a single, cohesive team leveraging our collective expertise for the benefit of our clients.

We have a full service origination and execution capability with offices in London, New York and Shanghai, and offer the benefits of a truly global presence, experience and contact base.

Our clients operate in specialised sectors each having specific cycles, dynamics and participants.  These unique characteristics require equally specialised strategic and transactional advice – ‘generalist’ M&A advisers are simply not qualified to optimise the outcome for their clients.  

Our experience encompasses over 80 closed chemicals and related M&A transactions with a combined value in excess of $30 billion. We have first-hand experience of the issues, dynamics and participants in over 90 sub-sectors, both ‘specialty’ and ‘commodity’.  

We have first hand transaction experience of not just one but multiple product cycles.

We are independent and therefore free of the potential conflicts of interest inherent in a ‘multi-product’ bank.
