Industry: Recycling – Electronic Waste Management and Data Deconstruction

Location: Saint Louis, Missouri

Buyer: Private Investment Group led by Mr. Melvin Deal

The DVS Group’s Role: Buy-Side Advisory to Private Equity

The Deal:
A group of three investors engaged The DVS Group to identify an acquisition opportunity, with Mr. Melvin Deal selected as the future operator based on his experience as an award-winning facility manager with Saddle Creek Corporation. The DVS Group identified MRC as a strong strategic fit given its size and alignment with Mr. Deal’s skill set, and structured a transaction that enabled the sellers to achieve their desired valuation while appropriately balancing risk in a rapidly growing business. The DVS Group also guided the transaction through a complex financing approval process, negotiated key agreements, and supported enhancements to the company’s risk management strategy to position the business for long-term success following the acquisition.
