McColl Partners, LLC acted as financial advisor to ChemPro, Inc. ("ChemPro"), a leading manufacturer of heavy-duty branded and private label household cleaning products, in its merger with Redox Brands, Inc. ("Redox"), a portfolio company of Allied Capital Corporation ("Allied Capital").
The ChemPro-Redox combination highlights an increasingly prevalent scenario in which private equity groups are actively seeking strategic mergers and acquisitions for their portfolio companies. ChemPro provides Redox a broadened portfolio of nationally recognized branded consumer cleaning products, a strong presence in the country's leading value channel retailers, and proven manufacturing capabilities. With a continued ownership in the new company, ChemPro's current management will assist Redox in making the transition from a marketer of consumer products to a fully integrated consumer products platform.
