May, 2015

Third Coast Capital Advisors represented DGI Supply, a DoALL Company, in its acquisition of North Carolina based East Metro Supply. Through our Strategic Acquisition Search Services, we identified East Metro Supply as one of a number of strategic targets for DGI Supply who hired us to help support their plans to grow through acquisition.

Our services included making contact with the target and starting a strategic dialog with its owners, as well as providing assistance on valuation, transaction structure and the negotiation and closing of the transaction. This is the fifth acquisition that we have closed for DGI Supply.
