“I am writing to express my complete satisfaction with the work your team accomplished in the recent recapitalization of our company and sale of most of its stock. Your firm went beyond my concept of what was included in marketing a company. During crucial stages, your people not only told us what was needed, but stepped in and did it.

“The Avtron transaction was the definition of how things are supposed to work in private equity. Super company that has reached a point where it needs help to take the next step. You guys did a great job helping us buy it six years ago and an equally great job with the sale of its Industrial Automation division last year. That is how it is supposed to go.”
