Services Provided
MelCap Partners served as Eastern’s exclusive investment banker and financial advisor in the sale of the business. We’d like to thank the entire Eastern team for hiring MelCap Partners to represent them in the divestiture of Frazer & Jones. It was an honor and pleasure to work with them throughout this exciting process.
Result
In an effort to divest Eastern of certain non-core businesses, and to continue to provide support for Frazer & Jones’ strategic growth plans, MelCap was able to successfully identify the best buyer for the business. As a result, Frazer & Jones was sold to Fidelis Holdings, LLC, headquartered in Bingham Farms, MI. Fidelis is a holding company that owns and acquires manufacturing companies in the highly engineered product space.
