Capstone Partners, a leading international investment banking firm, advised Apex Logistics Group on its acquisition by GlobalTranz Enterprises, Inc.
We have nothing but great things to say about the team at Capstone. As with many transactions, ours was not a straight forward engagement. We engaged the Transportation & Logistics team very early in order to help us gauge the market and to benchmark our performance as we prepared for a transaction. They were extremely helpful with providing guidance and analytics that refined our timing to market and overall strategy. We benefited greatly from their industry expertise and transaction experience.
