Chinook Capital Advisors, a leading M&A advisory firm serving the needs of Pacific Northwest business owners, served as the exclusive advisor to Arjae HVAC and Mechanical Services (“Arjae”) in its acquisition by CoolSys, a portfolio company of Audax Group (“CoolSys”).
Located in Milwaukie, Oregon, a suburb of Portland, Arjae specializes in ductwork fabrication, HVAC installation, and HVAC maintenance and repair services. Arjae is a leading service provider in the Portland market and has a well-earned reputation for quality and deliverability.
“When I met with Chinook, it was very clear that they were experienced and had a transparent plan to get a deal completed,” commented Ken Klunder, Arjae owner. “Their personalities and candor were a good fit for me. From their initial presentation down to the final hours before closing, they had my interests in mind. Chinook is a great team, and they executed on all aspects of the deal. I made the right choice when I signed up with Chinook.”
“We are grateful to have represented the Arjae team. Arjae is a growing company in a dynamic market, and the ability to find a partner in CoolSys allows the company to accelerate its growth and provide a stable and exciting future for the whole team,” added Ed Kirk, co-founder of Chinook.
“Ken was a pleasure to work with,” added John O’Dore, co-founder of Chinook. “His leadership and industry expertise contributed to a smooth process. We were honored to represent him during his transition from owning a local Portland company to being part of a national firm with additional resources to win more regional business. We wish him and the whole Arjae team all the best.”
