Candlewood Partners is pleased to announce its role as exclusive financial advisor in the recent acquisition of Pinson Valley Heat Treating (“Pinson”) by Weinberg Capital Group (“WCG”).
Founded in 1970 and headquartered just north of Birmingham, Alabama, Pinson Valley Heat Treating specializes in commercial heat-treating of precision-engineered components built to withstand demanding operating environments. Pinson’s emphasis on custom application-specific products supports long-term, recurring relationships across a diverse base of industrial end markets including aerospace and defense, general industrials, and automotives. The company delivers tailored solutions, working closely with customers to meet strict performance, durability, and regulatory requirements.
Candlewood worked alongside the Weinberg team throughout the transaction, including the evaluation and due diligence of Pinson, financial underwriting and modeling, and deal structuring. Our team managed the sourcing and arrangement of the necessary debt capital, ultimately putting together a structure that will support the business as it grows under WCG leadership.
Sam Heredos, Vice President at Weinberg Capital Group, said, “Candlewood was a great partner on the Pinson acquisition and financing. The Candlewood team provided significant support throughout the acquisition process, leading the debt capital raise efforts that resulted in multiple compelling offers from lenders. With Candlewood’s support, we were able to close on a tight timeline while still running a competitive capital raise.”
This acquisition is a testament to Candlewood’s commitment to providing bespoke financial solutions and strategic advice to private equity sponsors and private companies.
