Speaking on behalf of Remata, Annemarie Burger, and Esme Bense said: “Whenever someone embarks on a massive journey as we did to try to find the right fit and partner for our business, the stress involved is unbelievable. We could not have gone through this lengthy, complicated process without the team's amazing help at Benchmark. Their advice, professionalism, kindness, understanding, and attention to the finest detail were unparalleled. We could not have asked for a better Company to help and guide us through the process, this while becoming family at the same time. From our side, a 5-star rating is not enough. Benchmark is the best partner anyone, locally or globally, can have if they want to embark on a similar journey to ours. We will always be indebted to them.”

The Formeset Group is the largest fully empowered and independent general and commercial printing group in South Africa and consists of a broad base of well-respected printing companies.

Tiaan van Zyl, representing Benchmark International’s South African office, added, “We are pleased that we were able to assist and support our client in finding an ideal acquirer for their business. Many sellers mandated with Benchmark have not been exposed to a Mergers and Acquisitions process before, and selling a business could very “daunting”. Our aim for Remata was to find a strategic partner that is able to unlock the next phase of growth and, very importantly, has a similar cultural fit. We celebrate this wonderful milestone with our clients, and we wish them the very best of success on their journey ahead.”
