In this issue, we dive into the M&A valuation data and key deal terms of an adhesives manufacturing company. With over 25 years in business, the company has an established customer base, selling their hot melt and water-based adhesives to manufacturers across the contiguous U.S. and internationally. 

The deal was confidentially sourced in Q1 2022 via Axial, generating $24.2M in revenue and $2.9M in TTM EBITDA at the time of the Winning LOI bid. The acquirer consummated the transaction within four months of executing the winning LOI.
