Harris Williams Advises BFG Supply on its Sale to Pamplona Capital Management

RICHMOND, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Harris Williams, a global investment bank specializing in M&A advisory services, announces it advised BFG Supply (BFG), a portfolio company of Incline Equity Partners (Incline), on its sale to Pamplona Capital Management (Pamplona). BFG is a leading technology-enabled distributor to the green industry. The transaction was led by Brian Lucas, Graham Gillam, Pete Morgan and Michael Tuohey of the Harris Williams Specialty Distribution Group.

“Through a distinct focus on customer service and leveraging investments in technology, BFG has established itself as a clear leader in green product distribution and serves a diverse base of clients across the industry. The company thrived in partnership with Incline, and we are excited to watch BFG’s next chapter unfold under the guidance of its top-notch management team and Pamplona,” said Brian Lucas, a managing director at Harris Williams.

“High-quality specialty distribution companies continue to generate significant interest from investors driven by opportunities to grow both organically and through acquisitions.

BFG distributes a full line of products across complementary green industry segments including professional horticulture, lawn and garden, hydroponic, and controlled environment agriculture (CEA). With over 15,000 SKUs in stock, the comprehensive product offering provides a differentiated, one-stop solution to the market. BFG also offers customers solutions to better manage their supply chain through innovative technologies.
