“We are very excited to welcome the talented associates of Power & Pumps to the MCE family,” said Charles Hale, chairman and CEO of MCE. “This business will expand our geographic reach, deepen our offerings, and provide entry into the attractive fluid process market.”
“Going into this process, I had no idea how critical Heritage would be to making this deal happen and to my eventual bottom-line,” commented David Williams, former owner of P&P. “The Heritage team’s work ethic was undeniable and I felt like everything they did was in my best interest. After closing, the icing on the cake was when the buyer, who had completed 12 acquisitions in the 24 months prior, looked me in the eyes and said, ‘Heritage did an excellent job for you – it was a pleasure working with such consummate professionals.’ From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank Alex, Dan, and Heritage!”
Heritage served as the exclusive financial advisor and intermediary to Power & Pumps. Alex Kellison and Dan Edelman led the deal team.
