Globalscope Partners honored MelCap with two awards at the Fall 2025 Seoul Gala Dinner & Awards Ceremony. MelCap’s nearly 10-year strategic partnership with Globalscope allows the M&A firm to leverage the insights and expertise of over 600 investment bankers from 55 firms across the globe, many of whom attended Globalscope’s Gala Dinner & Awards Ceremony in October.
Al Melchiorre, MelCap Partners President and CEO, was there to accept the awards, as MelCap was recognized for being Globalscope’s second most active member, with nine deals completed over the last six months. MelCap also received the Flagship Award, alongside IFBC of Switzerland, for completing a deal showcasing the strength of the Globalscope collaboration network and its cross-border advisory expertise.
MelCap found the acquisition target just three weeks after launching, and the deal closed in six months from acquisition outreach to finalizing the transaction documentation.
IFBC approached MelCap Partners with the collaboration opportunity on behalf of Burckhardt Compression, a Switzerland-based, publicly traded global leader in reciprocating compressor systems and related services. Burckhardt Compression sought strategic targets to support the expansion of its Services Division in the United States.
“We’ve done deals internationally in over 10 different countries, but being able to complete this transaction really helped validate our involvement and commitment to Globalscope,” said Melchiorre. “And, being able to provide international resources to our clients, it allows us to have true relationships with other partner investment banking firms almost anywhere in the world.”
“It was an honor and a privilege to work with Dr. Thomas Vettiger, Managing Partner at IFBC, and his team on the BC deal,” he added.
The award for second most active partner is a highlight for the MelCap team as well. Completing nine deals over six months is something Melchiorre says he is extremely proud of.
“The team has done a fabulous job. We did eight in the third quarter, and that was an all-time record for us in a quarter,” said Melchiorre. “Now we’ve got to see if we can duplicate that.”
