Who We Are
This is an exciting day for IWC Food Service, and we would like to thank Rob Ullman and his team at Dinan Capital Advisors for helping us navigate this process, and importantly, find us an ideal partner in US Foods for this next phase of our family company.
We are excited with the outcome of this transaction and to be joining the Strada Family. Thanks to Dinan's dedication and expertise, we found the perfect partner for the Company's next chapter, satisfying both our vision and shareholder objectives.
I am extremely grateful to Tom Gerlacher, Alex Aldworth, Brandon Womack, and the rest of the Dinan team for their strategic guidance, industry expertise, and real-time support throughout the transaction. Their high-touch process ultimately delivered the best partner for the Company's next stage of growth while meeting our shareholders' diverse objectives.
We are honored and excited to join the Nefab Group and support their purpose and value proposition on a global scale in general and the Americas in particular. Especially thankful to the Dinan team who were able to guide us through every step of the transaction process and ultimately find the best solution for all parties.
Will, Tom and their team did an outstanding job for us in the preparation, due diligence process, execution, and post-sale requirements in the sale of ThermAir Systems. They were consistently engaged, always available and responsive for questions and guidance through the entire sales process. Their experience and expertise were priceless in getting the deal done.
We were fortunate to have a number of highly qualified investment banks to choose from to lead the sale process for Esscoe. We selected Dinan Capital as we realized that Dinan’s approach to the market was the same as Esscoe’s—they truly care about the outcomes for each of their clients. My partners and I are thrilled by the outcome and believe that Dinan’s dedication and expertise at every stage of the process resulted in an outcome that far exceeded expectations.
The Dinan team was instrumental in achieving the Board's directive to efficiently diverst non-core assets, allowing us to focus on growing the Company's core businesses. I was impressed with the level of professionalism the Dinan team brought to the process. Their degree of experience coupled with excellent communication skills is difficult to find.
