“This transaction demonstrates FocalPoint’s ability to close transactions in challenging sectors that require industry expertise and deep knowledge of the strategic buyer universe,” commented Dan Conway, managing director of FocalPoint. “Our relevant equipment rental experience was critical in allowing the shareholders of All Reach to obtain the most attractive valuation for their business.”
