Deloitte Corporate Finance acted as the exclusive financial advisor to G.H. Tool & Mold on its majority recapitalization with Tooling Technology Holdings, a portfolio company of GenNx360 Capital Partners. The deal closed on Oct. 21, 2015.

Founded in 1983, Washington, MS-based, G.H. Tool manufactures tooling and molds for tier-one suppliers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) across various end-markets, including automotive, aerospace and defense, outdoor products and energy.

“The Deloitte Corporate Finance team provided thoughtful advice, helping us find and execute a partnership that is a win-win,” said Gerry Hellebusch, founder and CEO of G.H. Tool.

“Gerry and team have built a great business. Teaming with Tooling Technology to form one of the largest specialty tooling shops in North America makes a lot of sense,” said Tony Blanchard, managing director, Deloitte Corporate Finance. “Deloitte Corporate Finance helped G.H. Tool identify potential partners that understood its distinct competitive advantage while simultaneously limiting business disruption so management could continue focusing on expanding customer relationships and driving growth throughout the transaction process.”
