November 10, 2021Blue River Financial Group has advised Optimation Technology, Rochester, NY based provider of design and build services, a portfolio company of Austin, TX based Owner Resource Group, on its recent sale to Re:Build Manufacturing. The acquisition significantly expands and adds capabilities to Re:Build Manufacturing’s Total Production Solutions group.

Established in 1985 by Bill Pollock (President and CEO), Optimation Technology provides complete engineering, design, fabrication, and installation of processing equipment and factory automation for a variety of industries.

Re:Build Manufacturing is an industrial manufacturing group that integrates new technologies into conventional manufacturing businesses to provide high value manufacturing for customers. The group is focused on revitalizing America’s manufacturing base and creating meaningful, sustainable jobs in areas that have been deindustrialized over the past 20-30 years.

Bryan Berent, Blue River’s Managing Partner said “While we had offers from a number of excellent suitors, it was clear from the start that the fit and synergies between Optimation and Re:Build Manufacturing were visibly greater. We also appreciated the way both parties conducted themselves during an accelerated due diligence period which demonstrated a strong cultural fit as well. We have no doubt that this marriage will produce great results for shareholders, customers and employees.”

“We are excited and honored to be joining Re:Build Manufacturing and their growing group of US based manufacturing companies whose vision complements our own but in a radically expanded way.” Bill Pollock, President and CEO of Optimation.
