Services Provided

MelCap Partners served as NewBold Corporation’s exclusive investment banker and financial advisor in the sale of PlasticCards. We’d like to thank Keith Howerin, President and CEO of NewBold, and Stonewood Capital Management for hiring MelCap Partners to represent NewBold in this transaction. It was an honor and pleasure to work with them throughout this exciting process.

The Result

In order to focus on its core business, NewBold made a strategic decision to divest the PlasticCards business to a buyer that could provide necessary support to grow the business. MelCap Partners was able to successfully identify the best partner for the business. As a result, PlasticCards was sold to NewGuard Plastic Cards, LLC, a newly-formed portfolio company of Daboosh Investments, LLC.

“The MelCap Team exceeded our expectations throughout the deal process. Once we engaged them, it became obvious that we had chosen the right team to partner with. They did an exceptional job working with our Controller on the financial aspects of the deal. The MelCap team was professional, responsive, and offered sound guidance throughout our journey to transactional completion. My recommendation of the MelCap Team comes at the highest level!”
