Testimonials

"We appreciate the assistance of the investment bankers at Hyde Park Capital on this sale transaction.  In a difficult economy and in challenging financial markets for consumer product manufacturers like Zickgraf, whose products are tied to residential construction, Hyde Park successfully marketed our company and helped us conclude an attractive sale to a strong, blue chip strategic buyer. This was an important deal to me and my family, to our Zickgraf employees and to the Franklin, North Carolina community, and I am optimistic that Shaw will be a great corporate owner going forward to the future benefit of both Zickgraf and Franklin."

F.P. Bodenheimer, Jr., Chairman & CEO of Zickgraf Hardwood Flooring Company  

"Working with Hyde Park Capital was wonderful.  They presented our company to a focused group of qualified buyers in our industry in a very quick fashion.  They delivered what they promised, and we achieved the outcome we hoped for.  I highly reccommend Hyde Park and would clearly use their services again."

Philip J. Powell, Chief Executive Officer of DenCor Management Services, Inc.

"We know that we could not have accomplished the successful sale of our company without the Hyde Park team. Everyone we worked with was professional, diligent, hardworking and knowledgeable. We felt right from the beginning that they understood our business and the waste industry and that they would be able to negotiate intelligently on our behalf.

Hyde Park Capital was able to create significant interest in our company which, in turn, attracted more strategic buyers to the table than we expected. With their assistance, we were able to carefully examine the offers that were made. It was with their guidance and expertise that we were able to select the final offer and know that it would be the most beneficial transaction for us. We know that we made the right choice when we contracted Hyde Park Capital to market our business."

Linda Polly, President of the Uhel Polly Group

"We interviewed several investment bankers before selecting Hyde Park as our banker of choice over many well known and established firms. We were looking for a boutique firm that would provide us with individual attention and Hyde Park delivered. Their marketing was outstanding and they put us in touch with some of the best Private Equity and Strategic Buyers in our space. I could not have asked for a more professional team to help us through our final close. They did it all as well as help us find not only a quality equity buyer but a strong banker to help with our Debt side financing as well. I would most highly recommend Hyde Park to anyone looking for someone to help them with the sale of their company. Definitely a five star firm!"

Bill Laughlin, Chief Executive Officer of Orion International

"As a family-owned company with 60 years of superior service to the industry, the decision to sell was a very difficult, emotional hurdle for third generation Mariani stockholders.  As expected, the staff at Hyde Park Capital worked very hard to produce the product, but their greatest contribution was their helpfulness and sensitivity to these issues which played a key role in bridging this gap."
