Transportation Industry

Matthew Kekelis, I want to thank you and your team for making an important process seem extremely smooth! A special thank you to Tyler Gonska for navigating me through the events! It was not an easy decision for me to go to market, but everyone at Benchmark International made each step of the way very comfortable. I highly recommend Benchmark International for any business!

"At Triton, we create innovative technology and machines intended to push past existing boundaries and inspire the next generation of ocean advocates. Ray and Jim bring additional business acumen and discipline to the company, creative ideas and unique opportunities that will amplify and expand on the important work we have accomplished so far. I couldn't be more excited to partner with two individuals with demonstrable passion and integrity, and with a deep commitment to ocean innovation and exploration that will make Triton's next chapter the most interesting of them all."

I'm thrilled to partner with the Triton team because my long relationship with them has convinced me that they are the best and most cutting-edge builders of non-military subs in the world. These subs are singular in the industry and are easily outfitted with advanced scientific and media equipment to bring important discoveries back to everyone."

Michele and I would like to thank you for the great job your entire team did helping us sell our company. We selected Benchmark (International) because of the professionalism shown by all of your representatives as well as the breadth and scope of your company. Your team answered all of our concerns and made us feel comfortable enough to initiate the selling process. You reaffirmed to me that it would be my decision on who we sell to and there was no time limit on finding the right buyer. I was skeptical, but after going through the process, I now know it's 100% true. You didn’t pressure us to make decisions and focused your efforts on guiding us through the valuation and sales process at our pace. Nowhere along the way did we feel that you were pressuring us for time or a quick decision. If it was a flip of a coin and it didn’t come up on Benchmark, then we kept flipping the coin.

Benchmark put everything on the table about the history of the business, about how things were going with the business, and I also appreciate Chuck and Michele for being very honest. And Benchmark for asking the right questions to get those kind of details on the IM (Information Memorandum) which you generally don't see. That was what made everything smooth and easy; there were hardly any challenges in terms of acquiring the business.
