November 9th, 2023 | Source: Business Wire

Eight Quarter Advisors (EQA) is proud to announce its pivotal role as the sole sell-side transaction advisor in the successful acquisition of Lithos Engineering by GEI Consultants, a portfolio company of Global Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. As a trusted Denver-based boutique investment bank, EQA specializes in providing sophisticated M&A transaction representation to companies typically considered too small for a typical middle-market investment bank. This expertise was instrumental in navigating the complexities of this transaction and ensuring its successful completion.

Lithos Engineering, a Colorado-based firm with a team of 27 dedicated professionals, brings unparalleled expertise in tunnel and trenchless design and construction technology. Their impressive portfolio of geotechnical and geological engineering solutions has garnered them immense respect in both the public and private sectors. With hundreds of successfully completed projects nationwide, their reputation for excellence made them a coveted acquisition target.

Robin Dornfest, Co-founder & President of Lithos Engineering, remarked, “Bottom line, the EQA team more than paid for themselves during the sale of our company and I would recommend them to anyone entertaining a Merger or Acquisition. EQA helped us through every step of the M&A process, set reasonable expectations, found us a great partner to merge with, and exceeded our expectations on every front; they are a great team and a pleasure to work with.”

Lithos Engineering Co-Founder and Vice President Benny Siljenberg also spoke highly of working with EQA. “After interviewing several M&A firms… we found EQA’s approach was the most sophisticated.  The EQA team was able to quickly get up to speed on the differentiators within our industry niche and demonstrate that value to numerous qualified suitors, leading to a deal that was better than we thought possible.  EQA’s ability to forecast, explain, and comfort us through the process never let us down and the deal went down just as they said it would.  I would have been more than happy to pay EQA twice what we paid. They are true professionals.”

"We are elated to have played a central role in this transaction," said Chris Lueth, Managing Partner of Eight Quarter Advisors. "Our mission is to provide the highest level of expertise and experience to businesses that might be a little too small for traditional investment banks. We want to ensure that they receive the focused and personalized representation they deserve. The Lithos and GEI deal underscores our commitment to businesses in this niche and we look forward to continuing to represent high quality businesses that are looking for their next capital partner.”
