Industrial Tech, M&A

Bryan, Garnier & Co acts as the Sole Financial Advisor to BICO (XSTO:BICO) in the sale of Nanoscribe

Nanoscribe is a high-precision 3D printing technology company, specialising in two-photon polymerization (2PP).

The company provides innovative solutions for microfabrication, enabling the creation of complex structures at the micro- and nanoscale. Nanoscribe’s systems are widely used in research, industry, and product development across fields like photonics, biomedicine, and micro-optics. 

The sale of Nanoscribe is in line with BICO’s updated strategy since BICO has concluded Nanoscribe non-core due to its significant footprint outside life science.

Nanoscribe will strengthen LAB14’s position as a leader in advanced manufacturing technologies, including portfolio companies such as Heidelberg Instruments and Specs Group. 

Bryan, Garnier & Co acts as the Sole Financial Advisor to BICO in the sale of Nanoscribe to LAB14, a subsidiary to German RSBG.

Bryan, Garnier & Co conducted a competitive process involving Tier 1 financial sponsors and trade buyers. Bryan, Garnier & Co advised BICO on deal strategy, buyer selection, due diligence management, transaction structure and contract negotiations. 

This marks another landmark transaction for Bryan, Garnier & Co’s industrial technology practice and is a further demonstration of its expertise in public M&A and deep tech transactions. Other notable deep tech transactions include the sale of SUSS MicroOptics to Focuslight, the sale of Telops to Photonis and the sale of dp polar to 3D Systems.
