Instrumentation

Highly Engineered, Specialized Markets, Technical Precision

Instrumentation businesses that specialize in the measurement and control processes in precise production and manufacturing operations will always be highly coveted. Globalization, capital investment, and the emergence of new technologies have driven strong international competition for engineering talent and efficient manufacturing resources. Larger companies are constantly on the hunt for innovative new technologies that can provide a competitive advantage—driving a robust M&A environment and well-defined landscape of potential acquirors for Instrumentation companies.

Dunn Rush & Co. has completed numerous transactions for middle market Instrumentation businesses across a range of sub-sectors. We speak the language, know the playing field, and understand the strategies necessary to market your company to the best audience of potential buyers and identify potential savings and synergies – critical to achieving maximum valuations and optimal outcomes. What sets us apart is that our partners and managing directors have been in our clients’ shoes—as CEOs of highly technical businesses that have gone through acquisitions and sale transactions of their own. Firsthand experience managing the M&A process as both owners and advisors has proven to be an invaluable asset to our clients.

What Clients Are Saying About Dunn Rush

Greg is one of the most effective investment bankers that I have had the opportunity to work with. His professionalism, ability to grasp the complexities of our business, expert advice and follow up insured that our process ran smoothly. Even when we hit road blocks during the process, Greg was there to offer alternative suggestions and to work behind the scenes with all parties to get the deal back on track. Greg was a real partner during the entire process from beginning to end and even though we were operating out of different cities, he was always available, day or night, to discuss and address the issue at hand.

Joe Jacobson / President & CEO of Akustica Inc.

Dunn Rush & Co. were amazing throughout the entire process of selling my company! Greg and Kevin quickly learned about an industry most people have never heard of (sonar transducers), and their extensive experience, creativity, and strategic thinking helped us navigate the process and deal effectively with the many unexpected turns of events. They are indefatigable, and were always available and communicating with us, day and night. Their attention to every details, their interest and excitement about our deal, and their endless patience answering our questions and concerns was second to none. Dunn Rush is categorically different from other investment banking firms, and I can’t imaging working with anyone else.

Carol Bowen / President, Materials Systems Inc.

I have seen the Dunn Rush team perform in several sell-side situations. You want them on your team! Their preparation and attention to detail is impressive. They are also real good people to have by your side during a stressful time. In the case of Bridgeport Fittings, Kevin and Greg introduced us to their Gold Standard of Preparation and we took their advice getting audited financial statements and a Quality of Earnings report. This preparation made the due diligence process go smoothly, helped the firm proactively address issues and greatly improved the due diligence process. The final results exceeded our expectations.
