Yukon Partners, a provider of mezzanine capital for middle market private equity transactions, announced its support of ECM Industries, a portfolio company of Sentinel Capital Partners, in its acquisition of ILSCO.

Headquartered in New Berlin, Wisconsin, ECM is a global manufacturer and supplier of electrical products for construction, maintenance, lighting, irrigation, landscape supply, and gas utility markets. ECM serves professional electricians, contractors, maintenance technicians, and do-it-yourselfers with a wide range of premium brands. ILSCO, based in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a leading North American manufacturer of electrical connectors, tools and accessories serving commercial, industrial, utility and OEM customers.

"The acquisition of ILSCO adds an industry-leading brand with best in class power connectors and grounding solutions. But its real value is with its talented and experienced leadership team that has built deep and impactful customer and channel relationships," said Mike Masino, CEO of ECM Industries.

Andrew Quinn, CEO of ILSCO stated, "This is a very exciting time for ILSCO as we start the next phase of our business with ECM. We are very proud of what we have built in our 126-year history and, with our complementary organizations and product lines, we will accelerate our growth and presence in the electrical industry."

"We are very excited to welcome the ILSCO team to the ECM family. Bringing the two dynamic organizations together greatly enhances ECM's position in connecting, grounding and terminating products. In addition, it strengthens our position in the variety of channels and customers we serve," said Masino.

“We are thrilled to partner with Sentinel and the management teams of ECM and ILSCO,” added Michael Furey, Partner of Yukon. “The combination of ECM and ILSCO creates a leading platform in the electrical products industry that is well positioned for continued growth.”
