We engaged TSG to identify companies that fit our criteria, would allow us to utilize our operational scale, and provide a strategic advantage to drive revenue growth and increase operating margins. This was no small task – researching hundreds of companies, contacting thirty and engaging three to complete a single transaction – but they were persistent in their process.
