See what our clients have to say about their experience with Paramax.
You guys and gals did great work for me, and we wound up with a 20% to 25% higher premium price. I was pleased to pay your success fee. Thanks to you all for making it a pleasant experience.
Norm Murray
Former CEO, UC Coatings
I didn’t need to be convinced to use professionals for the process; I use them for everything else. When I came to Paramax for the first time, I was convinced this was the right firm. They were well equipped to deal with the complex intricacies that had to be handled very specifically, yet others may have not known. I felt they were able to get the most out of the deal. There were lots of curve balls in the process, and Paramax created a strategy around each one of them with every detail brilliantly thought out. Critical timing was perfect, and that only comes from experience. Knowing what not to do is as important as knowing what to do. My advice to others, DO NOT do it yourself; it’s a foolish thing to do.
Steve Zillig
Former Chairman, Jiffy-tite Company
Paramax offers a very important service. Their staff is very welcoming, their infrastructure is beautiful, and their communication was outstanding. Paramax did a great job of providing discipline to the deal, with just the right amount of tough love.
Jeff Binkley
CEO, Buffalo Abrasives, Inc.
I had thought about selling my business myself. Now, after having sold my company, I’m really glad I opted to use a firm. Who would run the company while all this work was being done to run the sell-side process? In our case…setting expectations was especially important. Paramax more than paid for their fees by getting us the right deal structure and, ultimately, negotiating a more lucrative deal than I would have negotiated on my own. Paramax kept the individual members of our advisory teams coordinated, so the deal stayed on track. Their middleman role was crucial.
Rick Muller
Former President, Inergex, Inc.
Our ownership group talked with the Paramax team for a few years prior to selling our business. The time finally arrived where we were ready, the market was ready, and buyers were ready.
Paramax’s professional team made an arduous task at the onset flow smoothly and guided us through the process seamlessly and successfully. We were extremely happy with the results and would recommend Paramax to anyone contemplating the sale of their company.
Laurie Szumla
Vice President, All State Fire & Security
I was introduced to Paramax through my attorney. His recommendation was to have an M&A broker represent our company in the sale process. It was one of the best recommendations I have received during my 40 years in business, leading to a very successful sale of three operating businesses.
Sherwood Bollier
Former President, Niagara Cutter
Columbus McKinnon has worked with Paramax on a number of projects, and our executive team has been very pleased with the results. The bottom line is, with CM Recycling, Paramax’s skilled professionals, industry experience, and proven approach created a highly competitive global transaction process, ultimately delivering results that exceeded our expectations.
Alan Korman
VP Corporate Development, Columbus McKinnon
Paramax acted efficiently and professionally from initial pitch through execution of definitive agreements. They quickly became experts on our business and industry, and were thoughtful and constructive throughout the entire sale process. I am confident no other advisor would have approached in the same way nor achieved a better outcome for all stakeholders.
