Metal Processing

"Old economy" is a term often applied to traditional companies such as manufacturers of metal products and metal converters. We have dedicated a large portion of our careers to representing metals companies from tool and die manufacturers to die casters to metal perforators, just to name a few. We believe the term "old economy" including metal processors is exciting and full of opportunities, which is why we have been successful in completing transactions in this industry segment for nearly two decades.



"Offshore manufacturing pressure from China and others in the Far East has placed tremendous pressure on US manufacturing, especially metals processors. We find that the companies that have evolved and in some cases, flourished during this transition period stand out as leaders in their markets, and are very attractive potential acquirers."
