Employee-Owned Contracting Firm Grows Through Acquisition and Adds New Employee Owners<\/h1>\n

Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

A contracting firm based in Kalispell, MT,\u00a0Alamon<\/a>\u00a0serves communications, utilities, and energy companies nationwide from its 12 locations. The Company has been in business for more than 45 years, and has developed deep relationships with service providers, resellers, and manufacturers. Alamon prides itself on its 200 plus committed, skilled and conscientious employees who help keep quality at high levels. The Company has been 100% employee-owned since 2010.<\/p>\n

Situation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alamon\u2019s leadership hoped to grow the Company by acquisition. Telmon, Inc., a Network Infrastructure Services Company also based in Kalispell, had a similar culture and commitment to customer service. Telmon provided different services than Alamon, offered unique ways of providing their services, and had a separate customer base. The acquisition would provide opportunities for Telmon employees and customers \u2013 including making all Telmon employees part of the Alamon ESOP \u2013 and both companies could learn from each other and create a better company together. The timing seemed ideal as well, as the Telmon President planned to step down and wanted to ensure Telmon employees and customers were in good hands.<\/p>\n

Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n

An existing client of SES ESOP Strategies and its affiliated law firm Stevens & Lee<\/a>, Alamon engaged Stevens & Lee to provide legal counsel for Alamon\u2019s acquisition of Telmon. The Company purchased the assets of Telmon, diversifying its revenue stream and growing its profits through the acquisition. All 29 Telmon employees were hired by Alamon and became employee owners as part of the acquisition. The transaction closed on Aug. 31, 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very happy to welcome more employee owners on board through our strategic growth,\u201d said Brad Cronk, President of Alamon. \u201cWe\u2019ve worked with professionals from SES ESOP Strategies for many years, and we have always been impressed with the thorough and professional work they do on behalf of ESOP-owned companies.\u201d<\/p>\n
