Working with a team of World Law Group firms, Locke Lord LLP advised private equity fund client Nautic Partners on its acquisition of Endries International from Ferguson Enterprises, including its operations in Canada, the Netherlands and Taiwan. Endries is a leading distributor of fasteners and Class-C parts serving industrial Original Equipment Manufacturers worldwide. From its headquarters in Brillion, WI and eight U.S. and international distribution centers, Endries provides over 500,000 SKUs to its customer base. Locke Lord’s Providence-based transaction team, led by Michael Newquist, collaborated with CMS Netherlands, Formosa Transnational and Goodmans LLP on the transaction, which was signed and closed on an extremely tight timeline.
