P&M Corporate Finance (PMCF) is pleased to announce that it served as the exclusive financial advisor to E&R Industrial Sales, Inc. (E&R) of Sterling Heights, Michigan. The buyer was W.W. Grainger, Inc. (NYSE: GWW), North America’s leading distributor of maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) supplies with 2012 sales of $9 billion.

It is a full-line distributor of metalworking, MRO and production supplies with 18 locations throughout the United States. E&R provides more than 100,000 products to over 4,000 customers in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive and general industrials. Its 350 team members specialize in providing in-depth and unique technical expertise.

“The sale of E&R to Grainger is a key milestone in the continued growth and progression of our great company,” said Jerry Pizzimenti, E&R’s president and primary shareholder. “Our entire team is thrilled with the outcome of this transaction. My family started this business over 40 years ago and we are extremely enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead of us as part of Grainger.”

E&R shareholders hired PMCF to lead the sale process for the company. Jerry Pizzimenti noted, “PMCF was critical to the success of this transaction.

Their consultation and investment banking expertise was instrumental in completing this transaction. I would highly recommend the PMCF team.”
