Third Coast Capital Advisors served as exclusive buyside advisor to Aldinger, a portfolio company of Incline Equity Partners, in two unrelated acquisitions of Precision Calibration Systems and Cal-Tec Process Management. These transactions represent the fourth and fifth acquisitions that we sourced and closed for Aldinger in the last year and is a good example of our ability to identify and execute proprietary, strategic add-on acquisitions for private equity portfolio companies.
