This strategy would not only fast?track Ducon India’s organic growth but would also add critical size and capabilities to its current business.

He added, “As we approach closure of our merger activity, we are confident of Ducon Infratechnologies Limited being in a favoured position to achieve its targeted growth through a well-balanced organic and inorganic strategy.”

With inorganic growth strategy, Ducon aims to become a significant player in the global engineering space and by adding new businesses to strengthen its existing operations.

Ducon is eyeing to buy companies having annual sales ranging from $5?$50 million. It is potentially looking at companies predominantly in North America and Europe in similar or related market sectors and a strong market position.

“Preference to firms that are entrepreneurially driven ‘privately owned’, ideally with existing top management personnel in place and who are looking for a dynamic and financially robust growth platform, combined with a decentralised management model and entrepreneurial business environment,” said Ducon in a press release.
