“Multiple suitors had approached me over the years. Vortex offered a fair price and quick close. More importantly, Vortex offered the best home for my company and my employees, who now have the opportunity to apply their expertise in automatic doors across Vortex’s national footprint.”
John Higley
Spectrum Facility Solutions
“As my business grew, HR, IT, and accounting began to take me away from servicing my customers. Partnering with Vortex was the obvious choice. I received a fair valuation for my company and instead of handling back-office functions, I’m back to doing what I do best – sell.”
