Citizens served as the exclusive financial advisor to GHK Capital Partners, a middle-market private equity firm based in Greenwich, CT, on its acquisition of NY-based Horizon Group.
“The Citizens transportation and logistics team served as a trusted advisor to GHK throughout the process,” Lucas Viola, senior vice president of GHK, said. “Their extensive knowledge of the logistics sector, specifically the specialty freight forwarding market, was critical to a successful outcome. We appreciate their efforts and commitment to the success of this transaction.”
“Citizens has built a strong relationship with the GHK team over the past few years and looks forward to supporting the team during their ownership of Horizon and beyond,” Bryan Eger, managing director of Citizens, said. “Our comprehensive experience in the specialty freight forwarding sector allowed us to provide a differentiated view of the opportunity and support to GHK. We look forward to the strong growth that GHK and Horizon will achieve through their partnership.”
