Jeffrey Wang, Managing Director, BDA Partners Shanghai, said: “BDA advised on the sale of NKK to Jingcheng Group in 2011. We are delighted to see that NKK has successfully achieved significant growth since then and are proud to advise Jingcheng on the exit. BDA executed the transaction in a tight timeframe and under strict SOE requirements. We believe NKK will continue its growth by leveraging JAFCO’s network and track record in Japan. The transaction again demonstrates BDA’s cross-border transaction capabilities in working seamlessly across countries.”
