Deutsch Capital Announces Investment in Skyline Windows
Steven Kraus, CEO of Skyline, commented, “When pursuing a private equity transaction, we had many choices of firms that wanted to partner with us. We chose Deutsch Capital because of Mark Deutsch’s extensive buildings products experience and his strong relationship with Carl Hedlund, a senior operating executive in the industry. Deutsch Capital offered far more than just capital to complete a transaction. We look forward to working with Mark and Carl as we continue to grow our family business.”
Mark Deutsch, President of Deutsch Capital, said “Skyline Windows is a world class company. It’s not often we find a business that has weathered so many business cycles and manages to be stronger each time. It’s a tribute to the four generations of Kraus family members that have run this company since 1921. Carl and I are delighted to be partners with Skyline Windows and we look forward to working with the senior management team to continue its growth in the New York City market and selective other major cities.”
