We are thrilled to be joining the management team’s investment in the business and look forward to continuing Tramec’s impressive growth trajectory.”
Gary Sullo, President and CEO of Tramec, added, “High Street Capital’s close operational focus, deliberate approach to its investments, and relevant track record helped convince us that HSC is an ideal partner for us in our recapitalization of the Company.
