Acquisitions in Missouri in 2016

Sage Capital led an investor group alongside nine members of Bulk Tank's management team (including founder Dave Sisk) to acquire Bulk Tank Inc, a Park Hills, Missouri-based manufacturer of valves and flow-control components for pneumatic dry-bulk trailers and railcars. Operations will remain in Park Hills with all employees retained; founder Dave Sisk will stay on in a senior executive role and serve as a director while Andy Boyer will lead the company and Pneumatic Tank Services LLC will be managed separately by Brent Kemp.

Capital For Business and Sage Capital completed an asset purchase of DIT‑MCO International Corporation, creating a newly formed DIT‑MCO International LLC and retaining existing management and staff. The acquisition, driven in part by family succession goals following long-time owner F. L. Thompson's passing and the retirement of Richard Thompson, will keep operations in Kansas City under new private equity ownership.

Tailwind Capital, through its portfolio company National HME, has merged with and acquired Therapy Support, Inc., a multi-state durable medical equipment (DME) provider serving the hospice and long-term care markets. The acquisition (announced Jan. 6, 2016) expands National HME’s geographic footprint and strengthens its DME benefit management capabilities with Therapy Support’s 21 locations across eight states.
