EFM Global joins ICAT

M&A activity in the UK’s specialist logistics

HMT advised international logistics provider for live events, exhibitions, film, and live shows EFM Global on their disposal to ICAT, the world’s leading specialised logistics company.

ICAT is the world’s leading specialised logistics company, delivering fully customised solutions for complex, mission-critical operations. ICAT provides deep vertical expertise across sectors where failure is not an option. With a culture of operational discipline and a global network spanning 190+ countries, ICAT executes the specialised logistics solutions that others consider impossible.

Joining the ICAT network gives EFM access to broader infrastructure, expanded global coverage, and enhanced operational capabilities.

This partnership strengthens their collective capabilities by combining EFM’s trusted logistics expertise with ICAT’s global network, resources, and operational scale. Together, the two businesses are better positioned to deliver end-to-end logistics solutions in an increasingly dynamic global environment, further cementing their position as the world’s leading provider of high-stakes live events logistics.

HMT acted as sell-side lead advisors on the transaction which included negotiating key commercial terms, supporting the business through an extensive due diligence process and project managing the deal to a successful completion.

“It was a pleasure to advise the shareholders of EFM Global on its sale to ICAT. EFM Global is a business built over many years on the principles of high-quality service and strong relationships, and we had been working with them for some years before the ICAT deal. We wish the parties all the best in the future.”
