MCM Announces Recapitalization of ESSCO 
Fund II Investment 
  

ESSCO LogoWe are pleased to inform you MCM Capital Partners II has completed a dividend recapitalization of ESSCO, a vacuum parts and accessories distributor based in Twinsburg, Ohio.  The recapitalization was funded entirely with senior debt provided by Key Bank resulting in bank leverage of less than 3x TTM EBITDA post transaction. 

We would like to thank the ESSCO management team for their outstanding performance.  Over the past two years, ESSCO has successfully integrated the acquisition of STAR for Parts, transitioned from a regional to a national distributor, and has undertaken several strategic initiatives increasing both revenues and EBITDA by more than 60% during this period.
