Zander Solutions is a leading provider of waterproofing, concrete restoration & repair, and foundation improvement services to commercial, institutional, government, and residential markets throughout the upper Midwest. For more than 40 years, this Madison, Wisconsin-based Company has served an expanding array of commercial building owners, developers, and general contractors with a growing set of services designed to protect a building’s envelope. In addition, Zander also provides specialty services to residential customers including basement waterproofing, egress systems, as well as radon testing & mitigation.
With sustained growth on the horizon, the owners of Zander Solutions desired to secure a partner to address several strategic and financial goals to ensure the Company’s continued success. Promontory was introduced to the owners of Zander Solutions by their accounting firm and subsequently, Promontory was engaged by the Company to serve as its financial advisor. Promontory’s engagement involved helping the business owners prioritize their objectives, followed by marketing the business to a variety of financial and strategic parties interested in supporting the Company’s growth plans and ownership’s goals.
As a result of Promontory’s engagement, Zander Solutions completed a recapitalization and is now supported by a new banking partner, along with the backing of an experienced group of institutional investors. The Company is well-positioned to leverage its existing strong brand in the marketplace and to continue its expansion plan during the coming years.
