Financial terms of the private transaction were not disclosed.
“Partnering with Cotton creates an environment with incredible resources that will accelerate growth and opportunities for ACT,” stated Christian Wiley. “We are tremendously excited to partner with an industry leader that not only shares our passion for service and execution, but has been built with integrity and transparency.”
Target, a disaster restoration, commercial roofing, environmental decontamination and reconstruction services provider, has grown rapidly from a local construction contractor to a full-service disaster restoration company with a leading market position. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Waco, Texas, Target will retain its name and operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cotton under the continued leadership of Adam Meyer, president and CEO, who will retain an ownership interest in the business. Financial terms of the private transaction were not disclosed.
“Benefiting from the Cotton team’s knowledge and expertise and having their resources at our disposal is going to accelerate Target’s growth trajectory,'' stated Adam Meyer. “Much like Cotton, our crucial partners and people have been here every step of the way. It’s exciting to be able to augment our team and partner with a company that values operational excellence and service above all else, the same way that we do.”
Pete Bell, founder and CEO of Cotton, commented on the synergistic partnership between all three companies. “Christian Wiley and the ACT management team along with Adam Meyer and the Target management team have done an impressive job building two market-leading disaster remediation businesses and positioning their companies for future growth.
“We are confident that the comprehensive suite of disaster response services and customer relationships of both companies will benefit from the vast resources Cotton has to offer,” Bell added. “The value created will also bolster our own service lines and turnkey solutions in exciting new ways as we continue to expand our rapid response capabilities.”
