December 19, 2017 – Given that my firm TrueNorth Capital Partners (“TrueNorth”) serves the investment banking needs of middle-market companies in a broad range of industries, it’s notable that two of our recent transactions involve companies in the relatively small machining-services industry. Based on this recent, concentrated activity with machining companies, and continued interest by clients in this space, we believe that M&A activity for the broader metals fabrication industry will continue to match, if not exceed, national M&A market activity.

As an investment banker (“IB”), I have been representing companies in the purchase and sale of distressed businesses in the middle market for more than twenty-five years. I need to ask the reader to (1) provide me a bit of latitude on use of legal terms and concepts (I am not an attorney), and (2) presume I am addressing predominantly, privately-owned businesses in the bottom half of the middle market (capital structures typically no more complex than equity, senior secured and junior capital).
