ADVISER TO BLAIR-MARTIN COMPANY
Founded 60 years ago, Blair-Martin Co., Inc. has supplied valves, instrumentation, and repair services to companies in southern California, Arizona, Hawaii, and Nevada. The company represents world-class manufacturers, who offer instrumentation and controls for a wide variety of industrial applications.
Seeking an acquisition of Safety/Relief Valves, Control Valves, Pressure Regulating Valves & Pilots, and Tank Pressure/Vacuum Vent Valves, the shareholders of the company engaged Grand Avenue Capital to manage an acquisition search.
Because of the laser focus of Blair-Martin, Grand Avenue targeted six specific companies in the United States fitting Blair-Martin's acquisition criteria. Basin Valve, a division of Caltrol was selected as the prime acquisition candidate. Grand Avenue was able to negotiate the acquisition of this company at a very favorable valuation for the Blair Martin company.
