TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. - Floridant -- Calder Capital announces the successful acquisition of Tarpon Stainless, located in Tarpon Springs, FL, by AmeriKooler, a subsidiary of Ark MFG, both based in Hialeah, FL.
AmeriKooler, led by CEO Gian Carlo Alonso, is a premier manufacturer of commercial walk-in coolers and freezers. Seeking to expand its manufacturing capabilities and product offerings to better support its growing national customer base, Gian Carlo engaged Calder Capital's Buy-Side team.
Tarpon Stainless, a subsidiary of Innovative Foodservice Group, specializes in the production of custom stainless steel kitchen equipment.
Innovative Foodservice Group, represented by CEO Iain Whyte, divested Tarpon Stainless to streamline operations.
Leading the transaction on behalf of Calder Capital was Sam Scharich, M&A Advisor. Supporting the deal was Parker Schaap from Calder's buy-side team.
This off-market acquisition was executed roughly six months after Ark MFG's AmeriKooler began their engagement with Calder Capital.
"We were glad that we picked Calder Capital to represent us," shared Alonso. "Sam and Parker were proactive, transparent, and incredibly resourceful in identifying and facilitating this off-market opportunity."
