Buckeye Ventures CEO: more acquisition activity than in 35 years

Alan Mintz, CEO of Buckeye Ventures (which acquires, integrates, and operates HVAC contracting companies), says contractors increasingly seek to sell to consolidators and that local contractor acquisition/merger activity is at the highest level he has seen in 35 years.

““I get calls from contractors who ask me for advice of what they should be doing to sell to people like me in three years at maximum value. There is more local or contractor acquisition and merger activity than in the 35 years I have been in this industry.””
