MTI International

What MTI International does

MTI International (legal entity MTI INTERNATIONAL, SARL) is a France-based private consulting firm founded in 1996 that provides merger and acquisition advisory services exclusively to the agri-food sector, with stated coverage extended into adjacent cosmetics and well-being verticals. The firm operates as a decentralized network of approximately ten senior consultants — all former directors-general or senior strategists from the agri-food industry — who engage directly with company owners (dirigeants) to advise on business sales (cessions), acquisitions, external growth transactions, and ownership/succession transfers. Service delivery is structured around personalized advisory engagements covering strategic, operational, financial, and psychological dimensions of M&A, with an explicit guarantee of confidentiality and the ability to serve both SMEs (PME) and large groups.

The business model is professional-services-based, monetizing transaction-related advisory fees on a per-engagement basis rather than recurring subscriptions or retainers. GTM is sales-led and referral-driven: direct engagement with agri-food executives, supplemented by a content-marketing blog on Food Industry trends and a LinkedIn presence. Scale metrics cited by the firm include roughly 24 transactions completed and 100+ companies evaluated annually, with regional coverage centered on a headquarters in Couteuges, an operational office in Cohade, and the MTI Grand Ouest affiliate covering Bretagne and Normandie since October 2022. There is no proprietary technology platform, no external funding, and no disclosed revenue or financial KPIs.
