KippsDeSanto & Co. Advises Max-Viz, Inc. on its Sale to Astronics Corporation
/in Testimonial/by kippsdesanto“With over 20 years in the venture business, we’ve seen and worked with many investment bankers. However, I can’t recall a time where I’ve been so universally impressed with every facet of how the engagement was handled. We knew exactly where we were with each potential buyer at every step of the process. The acid test with industry contacts and perspective was that KippsDeSanto sniffed out potential buyers we would not have found on our own. Once into the serious bidding process, KippsDeSanto’s specific understanding of what certain buyers would and would not accept was critical.”
Gerry Langeler, Chairman, Max-Viz, Inc.

Bob Kipps, Marc Marlin and their team of analysts Robert Dowling and Christos Tsentas are a highly trained and experienced team, not only in the analytics but execution of overall process. Their leadership and focus ultimately led to a successful transaction.”

From day one onward the guidance and advice that was provided to us was invaluable in consummation of a complex transaction. From crafting the company’s story, building the management presentation and fair but firm negotiation the KippsDeSanto team delivered exceptional value and was the overriding reason that the company received a significant sale premium and closed the transaction. Without their expertise we would not have succeeded. Our hats are off to the best deal makers in the Defense M&A arena!”
