Azimuth Acquired by Private Investor
Waihapu Town Pharmacy Acquired by Walgreens

Generational Equity, an advisor to privately held and family-owned businesses for mergers, acquisitions, and strategic growth initiatives, announced the sale of the assets and business of its client, Azimuth Corporation, a medical specialty products company, to Dan Bowen and Vista Capital for an undisclosed amount.

Playing key roles in the sale from Generational Equity were Peter Schmedt; Don Sawyer, managing director of mergers and acquisitions ; Mark Breheny, assistant VP in the valuation group; Julie Sandoval, assistant vice president of M&A; Dave Heymann, M&A advisor, and Bill Kushnir, senior managing director. Azimuth began looking for a buyer in 2004 and signed with Generational Equity in October 2007.

Mr. Bowen, a veteran entrepreneur, was experienced in the manufacturing and marketing of medical products. Representing himself and Vista Capital, he was among 10 potential buyers hosted by Generational Equity for Azimuth in the first half of 2008. Those interested included four strategic companies and six private equity groups. There were seven written offers to consider. Azimuth's founders recognized the advantages Bowen's industry experience would bring to the future of their company, and negotiations began, culminating with the sale late in the year. Based in Largo, Florida, the Azimuth Corporation has three operating divisions that develop, manufacture, and distribute anesthesia and respiratory products in both national and international markets. The company’s products are sold through four mail-order catalogs that reach more than 8,000 hospitals, surgical centers, and emergency medical services in the United States and abroad.
