CENTERPOINT MARKETING

Quazar is pleased to announce that CenterPoint Marketing, Inc. (“CenterPoint”) has been sold to an Undisclosed Financial Buyer. Quazar advised CenterPoint in the transaction.

The Shareholders of CenterPoint made a strategic decision to transition the business to new ownership in order for two of the Shareholders to retire and to create liquidity for all of the Shareholders. They chose Quazar as their M&A Adviser primarily due to Quazar’s experience, extensive network, and reputation for successfully working with privately held businesses in the brokerage marketplace.

Quazar received nationwide interest from strategic buyers, private equity firms, and owner-operators. Ultimately, the Shareholders decided that a local financial buyer would be the best fit to maintain the culture of the business and ensure the employees would be left in good hands.

“Quazar ran an impressive marketing process. They brought different types of buyers from throughout the country to the table. Once we decided on the best buyer for the future of the business, Quazar was invaluable in negotiating on our behalf and getting the deal done.” – Joel Turunen, former President of CenterPoint Marketing.
