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.

In our nation’s slowly growing economy, corporations and portfolio companies of private equity groups are almost desperate to accelerate revenue growth via acquisitions.
