Commercial Applications
Clayton Capital Partners is pleased to exclusively represent CO354 (the “Company”) in the sale of its business. CO354 is a value-add fabricator of foam for multiple applications, located in the midwestern United States.
Diverse Customer Base - CO354 has earned longstanding relationships with customers in a wide variety of industries including construction, refrigeration, athletic suppliers, defense, and cosmetics. The Company’s customer base includes Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies, and its diversity insulates it from significant declines in any one industry segment.
Broad Product Mix - The Company fabricates multiple types of foam for a wide variety of uses including cushioning, packaging and insulating, rather than specializing in one.
Customer-Centric Offerings - The Company delivers a turnkey solution to customers by providing product design guidance, just-in-time inventory management, and multiple shipping options.
Relationships with Major Manufacturers - Management has nurtured mutually profitable relationships with two major foam manufacturers which value CO354’s ability to fulfill less-than-truckload orders and orders from customers that do not meet the manufacturers’ stringent credit requirements.
Large Percentage of Repeat Customers - Customers have demonstrated their loyalty and satisfaction by doing business with CO354 for many years and by providing new customer referrals.
Multiple Opportunities for Growth - The Company’s reputation for high-quality products and outstanding service provides a strong platform for robust growth. By adding to its offerings, exploiting excess capacity, and broadening its marketing efforts, CO354 could increase revenues and expand its customer base.
