TORONTO & SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lynx Equity is pleased to announce the acquisition of Seattle-based G&W Commercial Interiors, a provider of commercial flooring and related services across the Pacific Northwest. For the past seventeen years, G&W has provided best in class service to its customers by maintaining a roster of approximately seventy in-house installers. Distinguished from its competitors, G&W trains and equips its team with the skills required to complete even the most detailed and specialized jobs. This gives G&W the ability to guarantee its clients the highest level of quality and workmanship coupled with speedy response times to their requests. Consequently, G&W boasts a wide variety of customers including health care facilities, large corporations, and general contractors. G&W’s Vice President, Steve Woodman, has assumed the role of President post-sale, and will remain with the company for the foreseeable future. Steve’s presence alongside key management personnel will help to ensure a seamless transition.
“We are excited to welcome Steve and the entire G&W team to the Lynx family. They run an incredible business and we are excited to implement many of their best practices within our organization,” commented Lynx Equity President, Brad Nathan. “Floor Solutions has proven to be an extremely successful acquisition for the group and we are excited to continue to grow this area of our portfolio with the addition of G&W.”
In 2014, Lynx Equity acquired Portland, OR’s Floor Solutions, a distributor of commercial flooring in both Oregon and Washington State.
“All of us at G&W are thrilled to be part of the Lynx portfolio as it allows for a smooth transition, improved capital structure, and long term continuity from the founding shareholders to the next generation of leadership and management,” commented Steve Woodman, G&W President. “We were fortunate to be able to have witnessed the transition and continuity at Floor Solutions as testimony to the Lynx operating philosophy. The ability to maintain G&W’s values, strategies, and goals ensuring that the company can continue to take care of its customers and team members, as it has historically, is the cornerstone of this acquisition strategy. Personally, I am very excited about continuing to lead the execution of our business strategy with Lynx’s support and resources.”
Lynx’s US portfolio is primarily concentrated across the Pacific Northwest and Southern California. Lynx continues to pursue acquisitions of small and medium-sized businesses from owners looking to retire in Canada and the United States.
