The DAK Group spearheaded our effort and identified the perfect company” said Jim Zellner, President of E-Z DO who will remain with the combined operation.

“We’re extremely pleased that our unique strategic approach in uncovering the right buyer resulted in a transaction with numerous manufacturing and distribution synergies,” said Lisa Stern, Managing Director at The DAK Group. “This transaction offers a great opportunity for the buyer to grow its business while expanding the availability of E-Z DO’s high-quality products in the marketplace.”
