TECNOQUARK goes public on the MAB to finance growth
At the end of 2015, 9 companies in the expansion phase have debuted this year on the MAB, with a revenue of close to €100M. This represents an increase in the number of MAB companies of 30% compared to the end of 2014 and shows signs of optimism for 2016, in which companies such as BestPrice have already shown their interest in listing on the MAB.

 

Tecnoquark goes public on the MAB to achieve international growth

La última empresa que ha decidido salir al MAB es Tecnoquark, que  se dedica a la fabricación de matrices de automoción y aeronáutica y pretende captar financiación en la bolsa con dos objetivos: invertir en maquinaria que le permita producir componentes destinados al sector aeronáutico y crear una filial en China para fabricar útiles para el sector de la automoción.

Tecnoquark is finalising a joint venture agreement with a local Chinese company to manufacture tooling for the production oftion of the automotive, in order to reach Asian customers.

It is also taking steps to buy a French company approved and certified to supply the aeronautics industry.

"Tecnoquark also bought the small Catalan engineering company Ingeenious, dedicated to computer simulation engineering before going public on the MAB" says Diego Gutierrez from Abra-Invest.

BestPrice sees Mab listing as a solution for growth

Óscar Sánchez, founder of the hotel chain Bestprice, está convencido de que el suyo es «un proyecto con mucho potencial, pero que necesita financiación para crecer». Entre las distintas posibilidades para crecer, se ha decantado por la salida a Bolsa, pues espera que esta operación tenga un «efecto multiplicador».

In other words, in addition to receiving the backing of investors, it should also gain a useful reputation for managing agreements with customers, suppliers, financial institutions and other companies.

Aunque sabe que la salida al Mab puede llevar consigo una  posible pérdida de control y la supervisión externa de los nuevos accionistas, también ve la parte positiva y afirma que  «será un estímulo para adquirir mayor disciplina y ser más autoexigentes».

The MAB, an unexploited alternative financing for SMEs

The MAB in Spain is still little known and only 34 companies have decided to take the plunge into this form of financing, which has so much potential. In countries such as Great Britain, the AIM, the equivalent of the British MAB, has more than 1,000 companies.

Among the advantages of going public on the MAB is the ability to obtain immediate liquidity for to carry out growth plans, to optimise financing costs and liability restructuring or as a means of R&D financing.

The MAB, due to its requirement for transparency, also improves the company's image with investors, facilitating alliances and M&A operations.

In addition, listing on the Mab allows for an objective valuation of the company as its shares are traded on a market that is regulated by supply and demand.
