Who We Are
This is an exciting day for IWC Food Service, and we would like to thank Rob Ullman and his team at Dinan Capital Advisors for helping us navigate this process, and importantly, find us an ideal partner in US Foods for this next phase of our family company.
In the end we were able to select a fantastic PE firm as our acquirer. This firm placed a high value on our company being represented by Dinan Capital Advisors. From our side, we felt Dinan really earned their fee and there is no way we could have achieved what we did without them. I have no seller's remorse and only admiration for Dinan.
We are excited with the outcome of this transaction and to be joining the Strada Family. Thanks to Dinan's dedication and expertise, we found the perfect partner for the Company's next chapter, satisfying both our vision and shareholder objectives.
I would like to thank the Dinan Capital Advisors team for helping us navigate this process. Rob Ullman and Mike Reister did an excellent job preparing us, finding us an ideal partner in Right Traffic, and supporting us through close. They were a critical resource to us, and I would recommend them to anyone considering a transaction.
I started looking for a partner about two to three years ago. I came across Lisa Kaufman with Dinan Capital Advisors, and she was an exceptional partner for me to work with through the acquisition process. She took us from A to Z through the entire process. She was a great help.
