Buy-Side & Int'l Buyers
Find the deal nobody else is working.
Most plastics buyers see the same listings and the same competitive bid processes. Barry runs retained search engagements that define your fit criteria, identify the right companies, and begin confidential outreach before the target is listed anywhere.
For international companies evaluating North American entry, the credibility gap is smaller here.
Barry has worked inside Austrian, Japanese, and Singaporean businesses and built operations in the US, Mexico, Brazil, and Poland. That experience matters when the transaction is cross-border and the buyer is evaluating more than just a financial model.
Direct operating experience in 6+ countries and 4 continents.
Gruber & Co. Group GmbH
After helping Gruber grow North American sales 10x, Barry led the market study, target identification, and acquisition work that established a real US operating base.
Global Contract Manufacturer
Barry helped identify and qualify JV partners across North America, South America, and Eastern Europe, then stayed involved through startup and operating support.
The retained search model is designed around what strategic buyers actually care about.
