Calder Capital is thrilled to announce the successful acquisition of Access Companies of Saginaw, Michigan by an Individual Entrepreneur.
Access Companies, comprised of Saginaw Medical Service, Inc., Saginaw Rehabilitation Supply, Inc., and Access Vans, LLC, has established itself as a leading supplier of medical and rehabilitation equipment for doctor’s offices. Additionally, Access provides accessibility equipment and fixtures such as wheelchairs, ramps, stair lifts, and accessible vans to residential customers.
Wayne McDonald, the sole owner of Access Companies since the 1970s, engaged Calder Capital to find his successor as he wished to pursue retirement.
The Individual Entrepreneur with a distinguished background brings deep functional and leadership experience in marketing, sales, strategy, and corporate business development. The individual’s expertise spans multiple industries, including healthcare, consumer goods, and B2B, making him well-suited to lead Access into its next chapter.
Jon Pastoor of Calder Capital served as the Exclusive M&A Advisor to Access Companies. Calder’s sell-side team attracted the attention of 100 qualified buyers and secured multiple offers.
“Working with Wayne and the team at Access Companies has been an absolute privilege,” Jon commented. “Wayne’s dedication to building a legacy of quality and service is truly commendable. We are confident that under the Individual’s leadership, Access Companies will continue to thrive and reach new heights. Congratulations to both Wayne and the Buyer on this successful transition.”
“Before partnering with Calder Capital, I emphasized that our priority was to keep the business operating. My son, daughter, granddaughter, and two nephews are all actively involved, along with several other dedicated employees,” Wayne shared. “Calder truly understood our needs and found the perfect buyer. Post-sale, the company continues to thrive, and we couldn’t be more grateful to Jon and the entire Calder team!”
Max Friar, Founder of Calder Capital, stated, “We are honored to have facilitated this transaction. Calder’s success in selling a multifaceted medical equipment and services business demonstrates that our powerful buyer recruitment tools are effective across a spectrum of industries. Congrats to the buyer and seller. It’s a testament to Wayne’s dedication and the enduring strength of Access Companies. We look forward to seeing the Buyer take the company to new levels of success.”
Access Companies’ dedicated team of thirty employees, including Wayne’s son, Steve Evans and daughter, Sheryl Drake, will continue to be an integral part of the company following the acquisition.
