Sonus MPS Assets Acquired by Sunhillo
Defense
Bowen Advisors Serves as Asset Divestiture Advisor to Sonus
BOSTON, July 1, 2014 – Bowen Advisors, Inc., a Boston-based technology mergers & acquisitions firm, is pleased to announce that Sonus Networks (Nasdaq: SONS), a global leader in IP-based communications and networking solutions, has divested its Multi-Protocol Server (MPS) division to Sunhillo Corporation, a preferred vendor of air traffic control, surveillance and data communications products for the FAA, DOD and defense industry. Bowen Advisors provided M&A advisory services to Sonus Networks.
The transaction is a prime example of Bowen Advisors’ Asset Divestiture services, focused on (1) identifying the client’s key objectives, (2) determining specific business separation complexities, and (3) executing a swift and efficient process targeted at 90 days from project kickoff to transaction close.
“An inorganic growth strategy can often lead to ‘stranded’ business units or product lines that are non-core to a company’s strategic focus,” said Ranjit Survanshi, Vice President at Bowen Advisors. “In this case, Sonus’ 1Q14 acquisition of Performance Technologies (PT) included the MPS product line and team in San Diego. Working within Sonus’ greater PT integration efforts, Bowen Advisors identified Sunhillo as the right complementary partner and quickly executed a transaction. We look forward to helping other companies create strategic value through our Asset Divestiture services.”
