Montebello Container Corporation (“MCC”) is a privately-held manufacturer of premium-quality corrugated sheets and corrugated boxes. MCC’s product line features high quality liners, microflutes and flood-coating. The company operates three facilities located throughout the Los Angeles area.
Client Goals
MCC was a multi-generation, family owned business. The shareholders were seeking a strategic buyer to enable the founders to initiate their exit plan, while allowing their children to remain a part of the business.
Solution
Sale of 100% of the Company.
Upon completion of its marketing process, 555 structured and negotiated a successful, substantially all cash sale to Crown Paper Group, Inc., a strategic buyer backed by a billion+ dollar investment group. This highly strategic and vertical acquisition expanded Crown’s operations into the desirable Southern California market and provided an outlet for its production. As a result of the synergies, 555 successfully negotiated a valuation far-exceeding recently reported comparable acquisition multiples.
“555 completely understood the value drivers in our company and positioned us perfectly. Its expertise resulted in the right acquirer and a terrific outcome for Montebello and our family.”
