“We approached Southwest Mezzanine Investments to help us buy a business embedded within a large NYSE company. This was not your straightforward “pre-packaged” deal, and getting to a closing was a bit more difficult than most. The team at SMI recognized the issues early on and, within only a few days of our initial meeting, we agreed on a structure that took these circumstances into account. The guys at SMI are smart, seasoned investors who stayed focused on the important issues and found creative solutions as we worked through the deal. We closed with the deal structure we had agreed to on day one.
    I was particularly impressed with SMI’s clear view and unwavering focus on its investment objectives, which created a perfect match with our own. I look forward to the next opportunity to work with this group.”

Standard Fruit and Vegetable was a Dallas-based provider of procurement, repacking, warehousing and distribution services of fresh produce and other refrigerated products for customers in the retail and food service business.

“We brought GCP in several years ago to represent Standard Fruit and Vegetable and to evaluate potential acquisition targets, as we wanted our financial team focused on running the day-to-day operations. GCP was not only very effective in managing the entire process from beginning to end, but became an extension of our management team. After having developed a strong relationship with GCP over several years, they assisted us in recognizing and evaluating numerous recapitalization opportunities. During the recapitalization and evaluation process, we were approached by a New York Stock Exchange company to be acquired. GCP was extremely helpful in assisting us with both acquisition and recapitalization options. The ultimate decision was to sell the company and I personally feel that GCP did a superb job of representing us on this transaction.
