Jordan Knauff & Company Receives Three ACQ Global Awards

Jordan Knauff & Company (JKC) is pleased to announce that it has been selected as the recipient of three ACQ Global Awards 2014. The investment banking firm, based in Chicago, Illinois, received both the U.S. Boutique M&A Advisory of the Year and the U.S. Deal of the Year awards. Mr. G. Cook Jordan, Jr., Managing Principal and one of the founders of JKC, was also recognized as the U.S. Leading Advisor of the Year. The Deal of the Year award is in recognition for JKC’s work as exclusive financial advisor to Dynapower Company, LLC (Dynapower) in connection with its sale to Pfingsten Partners, LLC.

The awards were presented by ACQ (Acquisition Finance) magazine (ACQ) and recognize firms that set the benchmark for achievement, innovation, and best practices in the mergers and acquisitions community. Each year, ACQ invites its more than 100,000 international executive readers to nominate industry leaders, eminent individuals, exemplary teams, and distinguished firms for these awards. Voting closed in January of this year with more than 28,000 nominations received.

‘I’d like to thank the ACQ readers who voted for our firm for these awards and also congratulate everyone at JKC for their hard work and commitment to providing first class service and advice to our clients. We are immensely proud of the Dynapower transaction,” stated Mr. Jordan. “These awards recognize JKC’s creative solutions and unmatchable experience in the middle-market, both of which differentiate us from our peers,” he continued.

The owners of Dynapower selected JKC to represent them in this transaction because of JKC’s reputation for delivering high quality, innovative advice to middle-market companies and the entrepreneurs who lead them. The company required an advisor that could properly articulate the company’s entrenched position in legacy markets as well as its potential growth from a promising new market.

Dynapower is a diversified, industry leading manufacturer of power transformers, rectifiers, and bidirectional inverters that convert electricity between alternate current (AC) and direct current (DC). Dynapower’s superior technological expertise and mission critical product offering make it a global leader in the power conversion and energy management systems markets.
