It has operating and manufacturing facilities in Nantgarw, South Wales, Huddersfield and Michigan, USA.The team was led by Geraint Rowe (Partner), Simon Marsden (Director) and Sam Forman (Executive).\u201cWe saw how Orangebox approached the changing landscape at work and their early recognition that more people want alternatives to the traditional desk, and to work in a range of postures,\u201d said Allan Smith, Vice President, global marketing at Steelcase. \u201cThey understood people\u2019s need for balance between privacy at work, and the shift toward high-performance team work. We are really excited about bringing our portfolios together, and we see the opportunity to more than double the size of Orangebox\u2019s business within five years by leveraging Steelcase\u2019s global scale and distribution.\u201dEstablished in 2002, Orangebox created a concept they call \u201cSmartworking\u201d \u2013 solutions designed to foster collaboration and change cultures, while improving efficiency. The company\u2019s portfolio offers a pluralism of design choices and diverse functions with high-performance alternatives to traditional seating, patented architectural pods for visual and acoustical privacy solutions and highly productive collaboration settings - all based on a deep study of how people need to be oriented toward technology and one another. Orangebox will operate as an independent subsidiary under its own brand and continue to support its existing dealers as well as Steelcase dealers.\u201cOur products enable organisations to work in new, more collaborative ways and can help transform both the culture and efficiency of the organisation,\u201d said Mino Vernaschi, Managing Director of Orangebox. \u201cMy dream was for Orangebox to become a worldwide brand, with Steelcase this will now happen. Our cultures are so similar and we\u2019re excited about becoming part of the Steelcase family.\u201dGeraint Rowe commented \u201cWe have worked with Orangebox for some 10 years. It is an excellent business that has been at the forefront of product innovation and design since its inception. Orangebox is a dominant UK market participant. The acquisition by Steelcase will enable it to exploit significantly greater routes to market in the USA, Europe and Asia\u201d.Simon Marsden commented \u201cThe dynamics of the global office furniture market are evolving rapidly. The shift towards agile working and ensuring that environments reflect an organisation\u2019s culture and current day working practices has resulted in substantial change in customer requirements and design initiatives. Orangebox is a cutting-edge participant in its market.\u201dSam Forman added \u201cThe process was extremely efficient with completion occurring within 9 weeks of signing heads of terms.

The acquisition provides Steelcase with the ability to accelerate innovative product development in Europe and around the world.CFI UK acted as lead advisor to the shareholders of Orangebox on initiating, negotiating and structuring the transaction, which involves the acquisition of Orangebox for \u00a360 million ($79 million) less an adjustment for working capital, with an additional \u00a33 million payable to one of the shareholders over three years based on the achievement of certain performance obligations. Steelcase funded the acquisition by borrowings under its credit facility.Orangebox posted revenue of approximately \u00a369 million over the trailing twelve months through August 2018.
