DeWayne’s prides itself on providing creative problem solving and the highest level of customer service possible for its clients. The company employs approximately 110 full-time employees.

Having remained a strong and viable business throughout the recession, DeWayne’s management determined that in order to take advantage of available growth opportunities, they would need a partner that would increase the company’s financial, managerial and corporate development capabilities. After careful consideration, DeWayne’s selected Acuity Capital Partners as the partner best suited to further their growth agenda.
