The two Hunter Wise Financial Group, LLC executives interviewed said the major firm for which they have been retained is especially interested in investing in, or acquiring firms, in manufacturing, distribution and rail transportation.  "They are a multi-generational family business and they have significant interest in other businesses that have long been managed by a family," Mr. Hoganson said.  "We are looking for companies interested in growing, with compelling stories, and excellent business plans."

"Hunter Wise was chosen for this assignment because of the vast experience of its Managing Directors throughout the U.S., most of who have at least 20 years experience in transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, and a strong professional network that covers basically every industry in the county," Mr. Carroll said.
