Over the last two months, six private equity groups have retained MidCap Advisors to implement targeted acquisitions programs.  Many private equity groups view the current economic turmoil as an opportune time to make acquisitions and to continue to build their portfolio companies, while others view this as a good time to buy new platform companies.

MidCap's Austin office, headed by Jim Pringle, is working with Clearshot Partners to identify small to mid-sized service companies in the energy and communications industries located in the Southwest.  Jim is also working with Trinity-Hunt Partners to acquire mid-sized healthcare, manufacturing and service companies in the Southwest.

Steve Champlin of MidCap's Las Vegas office is working with American Industrial Growth Corporation to identify distressed manufacturing companies looking for a financial partner with restructuring experience to help them recapitalize their business.  Steve is also working with Alpine Investors to source gaming equipment & service companies in Nevada and across the United States.

MidCap's Kansas CIty office, headed by Jim Ward and Laura Maver Ward, is working with GenCap America to search for quality, lower middle market companies with established management teams.  The Kansas City office is also working with Burke America to identify companies that manufacture products, components or parts for the national electrical, telecom, and rail road grids.  Both searches are nationwide in scope.
