“The reason we selected New Harbor above other prospective buyers was because they gave us the impression that they had an understanding of our industry, a truly big vision for our future, a culture that encouraged collaboration and engagement, and a commitment to our people. Over their four years of ownership, they came through in every way. They strike the perfect balance between governance and ‘rolling up their sleeves’ when we ask for their thinking or support, which was critical in three major acquisitions we completed in the last two years.
