Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, the company is also the master distributor in North America for All Prime Pumps, a line of self-priming pumps sold to municipal and industrial end-users and resellers. The company also performs repairs and other value-services for its customer base.

Founded in 1951, MCE is a leading supplier of technical fluid power, automation, flow control, compressed air and lubrication products, repair and services, and bespoke solutions.

Parties
“Going into this process, I had no idea how critical Oaklins Heritage would be to making this deal happen and to my eventual bottom-line. The team’s work ethic was undeniable and I felt like everything they did was in my best interest. After closing, the icing on the cake was when the buyer, who had completed 12 acquisitions in the 24 months prior, looked me in the eyes and said: ‘Heritage did an excellent job for you – it was a pleasure working with such consummate professionals’.”
