Exit Strategies Group Advises on Successful Sale of Walker Industrial
Exit Strategies Group, Inc. is pleased to announce that it recently served as exclusive M&A advisor to the owners of Walker Industrial in their successful sale to Graybar. Deal terms were not disclosed.
Founded in Newtown, Connecticut in 1977, Walker Industrial is a value-added distributor of industrial automation products in New England and online. Founder Jack Ryan says this of his experience working with Exit Strategies Group, “Their understanding of our industry and our business was second to none. Their process attracted the best strategic buyers for our company. … This led to multiple rounds of bidding and resulted in having three finalists to choose from at very attractive valuations.”
Al Statz, President of Exit Strategies Group said, “I feel honored to play a part in every client’s story but working with Jack was extra gratifying because we’ve known each other since early in my career when I was running an automation manufacturing company. Jack’s exceptional life and legacy is an inspiration, and I look forward to seeing what he does in full retirement mode. Getting to watch clients explore new passions after a successful sale or recapitalization of their life’s work is one of the reasons I love the M&A profession.”
