Dubin Clark & Company has acquired M&M Event Rentals in partnership with the company’s management team.
M&M Event Rentals is an event service company that provides tables, chairs, linens, tents, lighting, lounge furniture, catering equipment, and floral design for weddings, social parties, and corporate events in the Chicago metropolitan and Dallas Ft. Worth metroplex areas. The company was founded in 1982 and is headquartered in the Chicago suburb of Carol Stream (www.mmspecialevents.com).
The company’s former owners will remain active at M&M: Mike Berk will serve on the company’s board of directors, Seth Berk will stay on as president, and Scott Berk will remain as president of M&M’s Texas operations.
“Dubin Clark is looking forward to working with the Berks in growing M&M,” said Brent Paris, Partner of Dubin Clark. “We have built a strong board of directors with over 60 years of specialty rental experience. We plan to significantly invest in the business in the coming years.” According to Mr. Paris, Dubin Clark is actively seeking add‐on investments for M&M.
“Our past success and foundation for future growth, are the result of the hard work and dedication of the entire M&M team,” said Seth Berk, President of M&M. “We believe that the investment commitment of the new partners will allow us to significantly expand our capabilities and our reach.”
Dubin Clark invests in companies that have from $10 million to $100 million in sales and at least $2 million of EBITDA. Sectors of interest include manufacturing, value-added distribution, and services.
