Deloitte Corporate Finance said it acted as exclusive financial advisor to Hendersonville, TN-based MGM Industries in its merger with Custom Window Systems, a portfolio company of Nautic Partners.

MGM, a manufacturer of custom proprietary vinyl windows and doors, was founded in 1965 and engaged DCF to explore a variety of liquidity alternatives. The transaction closed on July 31, 2015.

“Deloitte Corporate Finance’s knowledge of the construction and manufacturing industries, as well as the private equity landscape, helped us find the right partner with a complementary strategy and vision. The combination of Custom and MGM brings value to our customers and opens a range of opportunities for our newly joined business,” said Abe Gaskins, president, MGM Industries.

“MGM has a strong history in the industry and is well-known for bringing innovative new products to the market. We were excited to help MGM’s leadership identify and execute on this partnership for the next stage of growth,” said Brad Winer, managing director, Deloitte Corporate Finance.

MGM is an integrated manufacturer of proprietary vinyl windows and doors for residential construction markets across the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest U.S.

Custom Window is a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of premium impact-resistant and non-impact windows, doors, and porch enclosures in Florida and across the Southeastern U.S.
