NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MBS Value Partners (www.mbsvalue.com), a leading investor relations and corporate communications firm, announced today that it has acquired Breakstone Group.

Founded in 2000 by Kay Breakstone and Susan Borinelli, Breakstone Group is a New York-based investor relations firm that enjoys a longstanding reputation for top-quality investor relations and financial communications work in Mexico, elsewhere in Latin America, and in the U.S. The transaction provides MBS with an even broader geographic footprint in Latin America where it advises some of the region's leading domestic and pan-regional companies and brings a team of highly respected senior professionals, based both in the U.S. and Latin America, to MBS.

"We are enthusiastic to welcome a firm of Breakstone Group's caliber to our company," said Lynn Morgen, a founding partner of MBS. "Both our firms bring substantial capital markets experience to investor relations, and we share a commitment to superior client service," commented Lynn Morgen. "This transaction represents our third major expansion in the past 2 years. In 2013, we acquired the public relations company of Farrell Kramer Communications and later that year, opened our subsidiary in Sao Paulo, Brazil."

"This acquisition builds on a major growth area for our business, the expanding market for strategic investor relations advisory services in Latin America. We are proud to be able to combine forces with Breakstone Group and increase our geographic reach as well as enhance the talent serving this market," noted Monique Skruzny, a founding partner at MBS Value Partners who manages the Latin American practice.

"We are pleased to be joining MBS Value Partners, a fast-growing investor relations and corporate communications firm with which we have much in common. We both combine senior-level advice with a data-driven approach to the practice of investor relations, supported by longstanding relationships.  Further, we share MBS' values as a firm and its commitment to enhancing the role of strategic investor relations and financial communications in Latin America," said Kay Breakstone, President and CEO of Breakstone Group.

MBS also announced that it has doubled its office space with a move to 10,000 square feet at 501 Madison Avenue in New York City. "In addition to organic growth, we believe that MBS can serve as a platform for additional combinations with small and mid-sized enterprises, where there is potential for significant revenue synergies," Ms. Morgen noted.
