Waymarc Industries Ltd. acquired by Lodgepole Partners and ATB Private Equity, LP.

About the client

Founded in 1975, Waymarc Industries Ltd. (“Waymarc”) is an established Western Canadian provider of industrial storage solutions, offering integrated design, supply, installation, inspection, and post-installation support services to customers across Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Manitoba. 

The company’s shareholder wanted to find a partner that would continue to invest in the business. As an existing client, they approached our M&A team for assistance with the transaction process as they wanted to focus on a smooth and successful ownership transition where their employees would also be supported. 

Our M&A team assisted Waymarc with preparing marketing materials and coordinating buyer outreach, as well as providing recommendations to management during negotiations of the sale. We also provided advice to management during the ownership transition with the buyers, due diligence, closing, and post-closing arrangements. Throughout each stage of the process, we were committed to assist the shareholder of the company. 

Lodgepole Partners and ATB Private Equity, LP were identified by the shareholder as the right partners because they expressed a commitment to supporting management continuity, preserving Waymarc’s culture, and building upon the foundation established by the shareholder.
