Founded in 2020 and headquartered in New York, the company targets partnering with fast-growing U.S. companies to accelerate their expansion into and across Asia, leveraging its sponsor Olympus Capital Asia’s extensive investment experience and regional network. OCA prioritizes acquisitions in technology-enabled business services (including healthcare and education), food technology, and financial services sectors, specifically targeting companies with enterprise values between $750 million and $1 billion or more.
OCA Acquisition’s core activity is facilitating business combinations that enable private companies to become publicly listed, acting as a financial vehicle for growth and cross-border expansion. Its sponsor, Olympus Capital Asia, is an Asia-focused private equity fund with over 20 years of experience investing in middle-market companies across the region. OCA also provides operational and strategic support to acquired companies to mitigate risks and accelerate growth in Asian markets.
In recent major developments, OCA Acquisition announced a proposed business combination with Powermers Smart Industries, Inc., a global green-powered solutions company, anticipated to close in 2024 subject to customary closing conditions. This combination targets a pro forma equity value of approximately $2 billion and is expected to result in Powermers’ listing on Nasdaq under a new ticker. The transaction represents a strategic expansion into the sustainable technology sector. OCA has faced extensions and negotiations relating to business combination deadlines and financing arrangements in the past two years but remains focused on completing transformational deals that enhance shareholder value and support cross-border growth initiatives.
The company’s operations span the United States and Asia, emphasizing cross-border transaction expertise within the private equity and technology-enabled services landscapes.
