Investment Thesis

A collection of brands was owned by a lender group and needed to be sold. Transom identified one shining star among four brands, as well as abundant improvement opportunities for product and operations.

• After acquiring the portfolio of brands, Transom sold three to focus on the remaining core, high growth brand
• The remaining business, Mackie, outperformed underwriting plan
• Completed transformational restructuring centered on comprehensive outsourcing and operational cost reduction
• Refocused sales and product development on revamping loved legacy products and creating a new portfolio
