Services Provided

MelCap Partners acted as the sell side advisor to Steris.

The Result

Hausted was successfully sold to 3 Rivers Capital.

“MelCap was very professional throughout the divestiture process. We were interested in finding a buyer that would meet the standards we held with our healthcare customers. MelCap cast a wide net and found a buyer that lived up to our requirements. STERIS was impressed with MelCap’s persistence and follow through. I wouldn’t hesitate to call MelCap again in the future.”
