As the CFO of Hattat Holding, a conglomerate with six companies operating in the automotive, agricultural, and construction machinery industries, I enjoyed working with Cratone Advisory Services as our Financial Advisor. Hattat Holding, founded in 1973, has grown to become one of the top exporters in Turkey, with an equity value of 1.8 billion EUR and employing more than 2,700 individuals.
Cratone Advisory Services demonstrated exceptional professionalism and a deep understanding of the international financial landscape. Their dedicated and experienced team, based in Istanbul, with partners across Europe, prepared critical documents such as the teaser, information memorandum, and financial models. They also arranged and facilitated meetings with international banks, supporting us in negotiations and ensuring our financial needs were met efficiently.
We were particularly impressed by their international approach and the value they added to our processes. Their ability to navigate complex financial challenges and provide tailored solutions to meet our business's unique needs was invaluable.
We highly recommend Cratone Advisory Services to organizations seeking professional, global financial advisory services.
