SLATE Partners (SLATE) announced that its Principals advised Colorado Window Systems, Inc. (“CWS” or the “Company”) on its sale to Dynamic Glass LLC (“Dynamic”), a Texas-based glass, glazing, and metal panel services provider and portfolio company of Platform Partners, a Houston-based private investment company.
Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, CWS is a leading glass and glazing provider for low- and mid-rise non-residential applications across Colorado. The Company provides new construction and interior tenant improvement services to the education, government, aviation, office, retail, and healthcare sectors. With nearly 20 years of excellent service cementing its reputation in the market, CWS has established itself as the glazing subcontractor of choice for Colorado’s leading general contractors.
Natalie Asher, Director of SLATE Partners, commented, “Heidie and Michael Skinner have built CWS into one of the premier commercial glazing contractors in Colorado. Despite the ongoing pandemic, CWS has continued to thrive, a testament to their reputation for unrivaled customer service and the diverse and resilient markets they serve. CWS’ partnership with Dynamic Glass, bolstered by the support of Platform Partners, creates expanded capabilities for their mutual customers and a rapidly growing glazing leader across the South-Central U.S.”
Heidie Skinner, CEO of Colorado Window Systems, remarked, “It was important for us to find an investment banking partner who could guide us through the numerous decisions we needed to make. SLATE quickly became a trusted advisor and delivered an outcome well beyond what we had ever dreamed when we began CWS almost 20 years ago. We look forward to seeing the CWS team grow to new heights in its partnership with Dynamic.”
Bill Ehmer, Executive Vice President of CWS, further noted, “SLATE’s industry focus and experienced team was invaluable in connecting us with the right potential partners and maximizing our options at each step in the process. The dedicated support we received throughout the transaction was essential to maintaining momentum and delivering an outstanding result. I would highly recommend the SLATE team and welcome the opportunity to work with them again.”
