BDO Capital was there with us every step of the way through the sales process. They understood our privately held company, knew all of the buyers in our industry and anticipated the questions that buyers would ask. They promised us senior-level attention and a Managing Director was always point of contact leading the deal. We would recommend BDO Capital to any privately-held company thinking about selling their business.

We’ve come a long way during the past 50 plus years, as we’ve built a company that has become an important and reliable partner to our customers, suppliers and dedicated employees. BDO Capital brought that same spirit of partnership to their role as our trusted M&A advisor on this transaction, and we could not be more pleased with the outcome.
