“When market timing aligned with our readiness for a transaction, the KippsDeSanto team ensured that we were thoroughly prepared and that our process was professionally managed. The deal team provided round-the-clock, outstanding advisory and investment banking services that ensured a maximum return for our owners. They were always available; we always felt like we were their only customer. Their ability to draw from a deep well of transaction experience provided significant value. They gently educated us throughout the entire process and treated our team with incredible respect. We thoroughly enjoyed working with them. They are true professionals and even though I spent years preparing and we were ready, I’m glad I didn’t attempt to navigate the process without them. Because of their expertise, I felt covered every step of the way, confident that we weren’t missing anything. With their guidance, we were able to achieve the right outcome for all stakeholders.”
Dom LaPore, CEO of Intelliware
“KippsDeSanto was a long-term, valued advisor for Smartronix. They provided timely, strategic insights over the years as we built Smartronix into a market-leading cloud technology and ISR business. As we embarked on the journey of determining the next strategic move in our lifecycle, which culminated in our partnership with OceanSound, it was logical to have KippsDeSanto lead that process. KippsDeSanto indeed delivers exceptional results.”
John Parris, Chief Executive Officer, Smartronix
“As a mid-tier firm we knew that a transaction could accelerate our growth to the next level. It was imperative to select the right investment banking firm that not only understood the Huntsville market, but also to guide us through the process, optimize market timing, and connect us with potential partners that both shared our vision and embraced our culture. The KippsDeSanto team was just that group! They worked with us until we were best positioned to maximize value, were relentless in helping us to navigate the complexities of a process, and leveraged their buyer relationships to find an excellent private equity partner in Arlington Capital.”
Steve Hill, Co-Founder & CEO, AEgis Technologies
“KippsDeSanto was a strategic partner for DELTA and its shareholders for 5+ years in advance of our eventual, successful exit. That deep, trusted relationship provided us valuable market insight and allowed us to make important preparatory steps and business decisions that enhanced our value and attractiveness once the timing was right for us to pursue a transaction. The senior level relationship provided us confidence that we were a priority for them and that they fully understood our transaction objectives.”

KippsDeSanto & Co. Advises Chemring Group PLC on the Sale of Chemring Ordnance, Inc. to Nammo Defence Systems Inc.
/in Testimonial/by Andrell BarnesThe KippsDeSanto team provided invaluable guidance and advice in our strategic divestiture of Chemring Ordnance. The transaction was run through an efficient and effective process that identified the most likely and most aggressive buyers. From day one to the transaction closing, KippsDeSanto’s analytical rigor, strong communication, and hustle ensured our objectives were met.
This was the third time that we chose Kipps DeSanto to provide us the high quality guidance we require to execute on our strategic plan. This latest instance involved the divestiture of two businesses, each of which posed significant challenges for the deal team. The Kipps DeSanto team identified a number of options which allowed us to overcome obstacles which otherwise would have made the sale unlikely. The transaction process was efficient and effective. The team responded to short notice requests and was instrumental in helping us maintain the internal cadence needed to close these very complex sales. We will be looking to them again as we identify opportunities to further our strategic objectives.
Bill Currer, President

KippsDeSanto’s strong industry relationships and managed services expertise generated a process that yielded the best outcome for our firm and the right partner going forward.”
