Ceres Technology Advisors and Newbury Piret Launch Initiative to Serve the Photonics Industry

Date Announced: 09 Nov 2010

High-level investment services offered to the companies working within in the photonics sector.

Needham, Massachusetts - November 9, 2010 – Ceres Technology Advisors is pleased to announce its joint initiative with Newbury Piret & Company, Inc., a leading middle market investment bank to enterprises located in the U.S. and internationally.

This initiative applies decades of investment banking experience in mergers and acquisitions and capital raising, including equity and debt, as well as business valuation services, to the high potential technology markets served by photonics. Markets served include life sciences, nanotechnology, energy, imaging, display, lighting, and semiconductors.

"A financial pedigree and strong execution capabilities are requisites to cross the finish line with any transaction," said Linda Smith, Founder and CEO of Ceres. "Our team, however, distinctively has deep industry knowledge, hands-on operating experience, entrepreneurial instincts, and strong engineering and science backgrounds – big differentiators to effectively capture the value created by technology companies across the various stages of their business cycle."

Marguerite Piret, President and CEO of Newbury Piret, said, "We are excited about bringing financing and M&A services to the technology markets employing photonics. Linda Smith offers years of experience in this industry which, by leveraging our established middle market investment banking platform, can be brought to bear on a variety of client situations." Alan Fullerton, Managing Director of Newbury Piret, added "This new initiative gives us the opportunity to bring high-level investment banking services to clients who might otherwise not come to the attention of the right companies or investors and to work with these clients to efficiently realize their goals."
