SITUATION

Seale & Associates acted as exclusive financial advisor to AZZ to help execute an acquisition strategy in order to further establish and grow its Industrial Coating Technologies business.

OUTCOME

The criteria included companies of size and potential bolt-on targets where a platform already existed in the portfolio, managing multiple conversations with several possible targets.

AZZ successfully completed the acquisitions of K2 Partners, Preferred Industries, and NuZinc. The regional expansion strategy provided seamless operational integration and successfully executed AZZ’s strategic plan to broaden service offerings and expand their network of coating technology plants.
