Matheson Advises Vallen Distribution Inc. on its Acquisition of EES
Matheson is pleased to have worked alongside McDermott Will and Emery LLC advising Vallen Distribution Inc. (“Vallen”), a Nautic Partners LLC portfolio company and a market leader in indirect industrial supply chain solutions on its acquisition of Dublin based Eastland Engineering Supply Co. Limited (“EES”), Ireland’s largest provider of MRO supply chain services, from MML Growth Capital Partners and other shareholders.
Vallen is a global leader in the provision of industrial supply chain solutions, vendor managed inventory and technical service offerings. Vallen’s acquisition of EES demonstrates a further commitment from Vallen to expand its European footprint, further bolstering its position in the European market following other recent acquisitions in the market earlier this year.
The Matheson team is led by Corporate M&A partner Brian McCloskey, partner Rob Barrett, associate Aisling Smith, solicitor Teresa Carty and trainee Eoghan Myers, along with a cross-departmental team including Vahan Tchrakian, Chloe Power and Siun Clinch (Tax), Cillian O’Boyle and Ciara McGarvey (Commercial Real Estate), Lorcan Keenan and Sonya Dixon (Pensions), Ailbhe Dennehy, Ellen Nolan and Tarisai Chidawanyika (Employment) Carlo Salizzo, Sarah Jayne Hanna and Mollie Barlow (Technology and Innovation Group), Connor Cassidy and Darragh Casey (Litigation) and Paul Carroll and Ross Forde (Banking).
Brian McCloskey, partner in the firm’s Corporate M&A team, stated: “We continue to see a great deal of interest from US private equity funds and their portfolio companies in Irish assets. This is the second deal in succession that we have worked on with Vallen, following the acquisition of Wesco Integrated Supply in April 2024. We look forward to supporting Vallen as it further develops its business in Ireland”.
As one of Ireland's largest law firms, Matheson has some of the most experienced corporate lawyers in Ireland. Excellence matters and Matheson's corporate department has unrivalled experience in advising international clients across all industry sectors, making the firm uniquely positioned to partner with clients to successfully deliver these types of transactions.
