"We are thrilled to have facilitated the successful transaction between Luxxbox and F&P Equity Partners," said Chris Lueth, Managing Director at Eight Quarter Advisors (“EQA”). "The transaction presented a number of unique challenges with a seller, buyer, and counsel located in three very distant countries, but we are proud of the outcome and feel strongly that the acquisition strategically aligns both Panzeri and Luxxbox to capitalize on an expanding global market and further reinforce its position as a pioneer in the lighting and acoustic design market. It has been a great pleasure to connect two entities who are so parallel in their vision and objectives, and we are confident that this partnership will create immense value for both companies and their customers."
