This has been a busy season in the M&A market. Activity remains strong across residential, hospitality, and contract furniture. We continue to observe a compelling balance of buyers and sellers in each of these furniture industry sectors. There are strong strategic buyers interested in growth and diversification of products and manufacturing capabilities. Private equity companies are investing in the space, indicating that there is additional investment to follow. Finally, Asian money continues to seek US investment.

This has also been a busy season for Stump. We have closed 2 transactions over the past 2 months, and have two more nearing completion in the weeks ahead. This is an exciting time in the market cycle to be entering the High Point Furniture Market.
