Benchmark International has successfully facilitated the sale of T.J. Baehr, Inc., D.B.A. Ground Hog Foundation Drilling, to a private investor in Houston, Texas.
Since 1989, Ground Hog Foundation Drilling has been a specialty contractor that delivers foundation drilling and excavation services for commercial and industrial construction projects in the Houston market. The buyer, Guillermo G. is a private investor living in Houston, Texas with years of experience as a project manger for the energy sector. The buyer’s strong relationship with the seller, engineering background, and interest in specialized services and project management were factors that motivated the buyer to purchase his first business, Ground Hog Foundation Drilling.
In reference to the transaction, Tom Baehr, President of Ground Hog Foundation Drilling, explained his experience with Benchmark International, “I was previously engaged with another brokerage firm and later decided to engage Benchmark International for their extensive market reach and successful track record. I found that Benchmark International immediately understood the excavation drilling market and was able to introduce numerous buyers into the mix. Not only did the Benchmark International team bring forth and negotiate an offer that satisfied my expectations but also a buyer that I know will facilitate the continued growth of Ground Hog Foundation Drilling for many years to come. I highly recommend using Benchmark International for your M&A needs.”
