Sentry is a full-service manufacturer of industrial automation equipment, including conveyors, palletizers, and other container handling machinery and robotics for the beverage market. The company was founded in 1980 and is based in Forest, Virginia. Prior to the transaction with ProMach, Sentry was a 100% ESOP-owned company.
After receiving multiple unsolicited inquiries to acquire the company, Sentry engaged SC&H Capital to assist the Board with exploring a potential sale. SC&H worked closely with the Sentry Board of Directors and management team to competitively position the company, provide interested parties with relevant information to support bids, and negotiate key transaction terms.
