ELGIN, Ill. - illiNews -- Transaction Summary
Calder Capital, a nationwide mergers and acquisitions advisory firm, is pleased to announce the successful sale of Mark Industries Ltd. of Elgin, Illinois, to AGS American Glass Services of Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

The Acquisition Story
Founded in 1988, Mark Industries is an integrated commercial glazing contractor serving commercial and institutional projects throughout the greater Chicago area, southern Wisconsin, and northern Indiana. The company manages estimating, shop drawings, material procurement, fabrication, installation, maintenance, and repair services in-house. Following rapid growth at Mark Industries, Owner and President Josh Cunningham sought a strategic partner that aligned with the company's vision.

Mark Industries' engagement led to Calder Capital marketing and advising the sale of their business to AGS American Glass Services.

Calder Capital's Transaction Team and Sale Process
Shane Kissack of Calder Capital served as the Lead Mergers & Acquisitions Advisor to Mark Industries. Serving as Lead Associate was Nick Browning of Calder Capital, with Matt Wynes and Drew Woods as the Lead Analysts.

Calder's Sell-Side team generated strong market interest during the sale process, with 183 Confidential Information Memorandums (CIMs) distributed to qualified buyers, nine indications of interest received, and Calder ultimately obtained four letters of intent to review. Mark Industries closed within two months of signing the letter of intent.

Cunningham noted, "Working with Calder Capital and Shane was an absolute game-changer for us. Throughout the entire process, Shane brought professionalism, expertise, and a steady hand that made navigating this a success. His guidance was immeasurable in every step of the way, and I couldn't have asked for a better partner to help us through this."

Kissack remarked, "Josh built something special at Mark Industries, and it was clear from the beginning how much the people, relationships, and culture behind the business meant to him. Finding the right buyer wasn't simply about securing a successful transaction. It was about ensuring that what he worked so hard to build would continue to thrive. AGS recognized that value and shared his vision for the company's future. I'm grateful Josh trusted us to help him navigate such an important milestone, and I couldn't be happier for him and both teams as they begin this next chapter!"
