We are pleased to announce that SRP Advisors, LLC initiated the transaction and acted as financial advisor to Battenfeld Technologies, Inc. in connection with the acquisition of Hooyman Saws. Battenfeld is an industry leading manufacturer of shooting, reloading, gunsmithing and gun cleaning supplies which became a subsidiary of Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation in December 2014. Battenfeld manufactures accessories under several popular brands including Caldwell Shooting Supplies, Wheeler Engineering, Tipton Gun Cleaning Supplies, Lockdown Vault Accessories, Frankford Arsenal, Non-Typical Wildlife Solutions and others. Hooyman Saws is a manufacturer of extendable tree saws designed for the hunting and outdoor industry.

Battenfeld Technologies plans to locate Hooyman operations in its Columbia, MO facility.
This transaction extends the successful track record of SRP Advisors working with leading companies in the sporting goods and outdoor accessories market.
““We are proud that our original product concept has grown to become a leading brand in the hunting and outdoor industry, a success that we owe to both product innovation and to our loyal customer base.
