Orange County, CA, Dec. 22, 2021 — Plethora Businesses, an M&A advisory firm headquartered in Orange County, California, is pleased to announce the sale of Ideal Fasteners, a global manufacturer of threaded fasteners, to MW Industries. Plethora served as the exclusive sell-side advisor in this transaction.
The transaction closing was announced on December 10, 2021, and is adding to an already very strong year for Plethora Businesses in the midst of an active M&A market.
For over 50 years, Ideal Fasteners has manufactured the finest quality threaded fasteners.
