Sneak Preview: Mergers & Acquisitions in Mining Tech with Ivan Gustavino
In this sneak preview, Ax Legal’s Managing Partner Cody McFarlane speaks with Ivan Gustavino, Managing Director at Atrico, who has advised over 100 high-growth companies in mining, industrial tech, and software. With M&A activity heating up, Ivan breaks down what investors and buyers really look for in mining technology companies today.
Peru has become an attractive emerging market for foreign investors. Particularly for foreign companies providing technology or services to the mining or industrial sectors. It is important for companies to understand the local labour laws when hiring workers in Peru as there are some key differences to other countries.
5G will bring new opportunities for mining companies. Mining technology companies will benefit as they will be able to provide new technologies that will further automate operations creating safer and more efficient mines.
Peru has a large project pipeline of mining projects totaling approx. USD$58bn and should be the focus market for mining suppliers due to the fact that the local miners are open to new technologies and it is still relatively open in terms of competition compared to Chile.
Over the last 10 years, the Ax Legal team has helped many companies to enter and to operate in Peru. We have put together a comprehensive guideline of the relevant steps, timeframe and some of the important requirements needed to be completed when incorporating a company in Peru.
