"I have been in the investment banking and Private Equity business for over 20 years. I have never seen an investment bank produce as many bids as Petsky Prunier did in our process. I was surprised and impressed with Petsky Prunier’s knowledge of the marketplace and by the depth of the relationships they had with virtually every company we needed to reach. They got us over 50 bids from quality interested parties. Multiple bids, properly managed, develops the competitive tension that you need to maximize value. They did a great job working with us to develop a rationale for why our business deserved to be valued a certain way…and ran a process that delivered value in excess of expectations. That’s what we hired them for; that’s what they did."

"We had the unfortunate luck of selling our company in an extremely difficult and turbulent credit market environment. Conversely, we had the fortunate luck of selecting a highly skilled and level headed investment banking partner in Petsky Prunier. I was almost shocked to the extent that the Petsky team was focused on only one thing – doing what was right for our business. The end result was a deal that closed on the high end of the projected range they gave us last fall, before the market meltdown began. In addition, the other end result was a deep respect for them and their long term partnership approach to investment banking rather than a transactional based approach."
