The most obviously problem for many is that they are hindered with rising debts that are eating into their profit margin. David Pattison, Senior
Analyst at Plimsoll says: "These are all ‘classic’ acquisition targets. They are currently undervalued but have great potential. Each of these companies
could be turned around and have a great future. The existing owners might just be too constrained to do it. The subject of acquisition seems to be back on the agenda for board meetings within the industry. Driving this theme are low interest rates and companies with cash to spend."

Identified in the new study are 26 access control companies the analysis claims are looking "fat". These firms have a cash pile beyond normal business needs. These companies must put this cash to good use. It is doing nothing sat in the bank at the moment and the prospect of a cheap
acquisition must be in their thinking, says Plimsoll.
