The sale highlights our ability to identify and acquire well-managed, profitable companies in attractive niches and partner with their teams to achieve operational excellence, strong customer growth and market expansion.

We accelerated their product development initiatives to drive sales into new markets, including automotive and pharmaceuticals. We worked closely with their marketing team to perform a lifetime value analysis of customers, which resulted in better targeted sales and more catalog sales.
