About the client

Metal-Fab Industries Ltd. (“Metal-Fab”) is a steel fabrication and erection contractor headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, serving commercial, institutional, industrial, and residential markets. Founded in 1986, the company has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, technically complex steel solutions that support some of Western Canada’s most notable and award-winning construction and infrastructure projects.

When some of the shareholders of Metal-Fab were looking to retire, other shareholders wanted to stay on and continue growing the business with a new partner. That’s when they turned to our M&A team for assistance with structuring the transaction in a way that considered all shareholders and their unique situations. Through a collaborative approach, we built a strong relationship based on trust by providing timely advice, consistent communication, and guidance throughout the transaction process. Our team provided sell-side advisory support, including preparing marketing materials, buyer outreach, due diligence coordination, preparation for management presentations, working capital and purchase price analysis, and transaction recommendations through negotiations and closing.

Metal-Fab's shareholders selected DyMark Industries Inc. (“DyMark”) and PFM Capital Inc. ("PFM Capital") as partners they believed aligned with Metal-Fab’s operations, growth objectives, and commitment to customer service excellence. Metal-Fab, DyMark, and PFM Capital are exploring opportunities to support one another by sharing work, resources, and operational expertise, creating greater flexibility to take on projects and better serve customers across organizations.
