Mayer Brown advises TestEquity and Gexpro Services on strategic combination with Lawson Products, Inc.

A Mayer Brown team represented two of LKCM Headwater Investments (LKCM Headwater) portfolio companies, TestEquity and Gexpro Services, in the execution of definitive merger agreements with Lawson Products, Inc. (Lawson) in an all stock transaction.

The affiliates of LKCM Headwater that currently own TestEquity and Gexpro Services will receive solely Lawson common stock as consideration for the transactions. All three leading niche industrial distribution companies will be brought under a holding company with all three companies operating independently with their existing management teams as separate divisions.

The Mayer Brown team included Andrew Noreuil, Ryan Ferris and Fred Fisher.
