About

“Thank you so much for doing a fabulous job handling the sale of our company. We had faith in your skills and experience after being referred to you by both our attorney and accountant but you guys exceeded all our expectations and we now know for sure there is no way imaginable we could have handled this complex transaction on our own. We are on our way to a much deserved retirement and we really appreciate how hard you guys worked and how you tirelessly protected our interests.

We felt comfortable you flushed out the entire marketplace of potential buyers after confidentially contacting hundreds of strategic and financial buyers and you ultimately negotiated a great deal for us from the perfect synergistic buyer.

The Herculean effort you guys performed closing the deal in just thirty days working 24/7 through the month of December including the holidays to close before year’s end was above and beyond the call of duty. You guys managed the army of accountants, lawyers, lenders, appraisers, environmental consultants, employee/benefit consultants, and real estate advisors all the while making sure the mountain of purchase documents matched the hard fought for deal terms.

We are very happy being part of the Trulite organization and we look forward to slowly transitioning out of the company we founded 30 years ago while knowing that our employees and customers will be left in very capable hands.”
