Capstone executes multi-faceted carve-out and accretive sale leaseback, anticipates heightened demand for multi-prong deals in 2023.

DENVER, CO, UNITED STATES, February 23, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Capstone Partners, a leading middle market investment banking firm, advised on the closing of two simultaneous transactions on January 30th in what it views as a precursor to a growing trend. Enpro (NYSE:NPO) sold its Garlock Pipeline Technologies business unit ("GPT" or the "Company"), the world’s leading manufacturer of critical pipeline sealing and electrical isolation products, to Branford Castle Partners. Additionally, GPT completed a sale leaseback of their manufacturing facility with Tempus Realty.

Capstone leveraged its in-house real estate advisory to simultaneously complete the sale-leaseback transaction and anticipates that simultaneous transactions such as this one will become more common in the face of recessionary pressures as companies pursue unique approaches to raising capital and maximizing transaction value.

Based in Denver, Colorado, GPT produces critical-service flange isolation kits (FIKs) and monolithic isolation joints (MIJs) for oil, natural gas, and water pipeline applications globally. Prior to Branford’s acquisition, GPT was an operating division of EnPro Industries. GPT’s patented, highly engineered products help prevent the leading causes of pipeline failures and protect against potential explosions, fires and pollution. GPT’s “Pikotek” brand is known as the pioneer of the flange isolation gasket industry and is recognized as the original brand to have introduced FIKs to the broader market in the 1980s.
