USA Insulation (“USAâ€), founded in 1985, is a leading provider of premium foam insulation products to the residential market place. USA operates both company-owned as well as franchised locations throughout the U.S. The Company is also unique in that it provides its customers with its own unique, proprietary foam formulation through its exclusive manufacturing operations. MelCap Partners served as USA’s exclusive investment banker and financial advisor in the business. We’d like to thank the Shareholders of USA, Pat Pitrone and Aaron Jais, for hiring MelCap Partners to represent them in this once in a lifetime transaction. It was an honor and pleasure to work with them throughout this exciting process. In an effort to provide the Shareholders with liquidity, and to continue to support USA’s aggressive strategic growth plans, MelCap was able to successfully identify the ideal buyer and partner for the business. As a result, USA was sold to The Riverside Company’s new trade services franchise platform called Threshold Brands. Through Threshold Brands, Riverside is building a premier trade services platform initially comprised of five businesses. Partnering with Riverside and Threshold Brands will allow USA to accelerate its growth trajectory and provide expanded offerings to its customer base. In addition, and as a vote of confidence in the combined businesses, Pat and Aaron will also be partners and investors in Threshold Brands with Riverside.
