Founded in 1947, Haskell (www.haskelloffice.com) (www.haskelleducation.com) has earned a global reputation for excellence by supplying superior quality furniture to its customers.  Headquartered in Bala Cynwyd, PA, with manufacturing and distribution operations in Grand Rapids, MI, the Company has a long legacy of supporting government, commercial and institutional customers with their furniture needs.  In 2015, Haskell introduced a next-generation portfolio of furniture products satisfying the 21st Century collaborative learning environment – this new style of learning promotes deeper personal interactions between teachers and their students, and enables students to more actively engage with learning materials leveraging today’s leading classroom technologies.

Haskell has been supported by PNC since 2002 for its commercial banking needs.  As the Company has continued to scale (i.e., revenue, profitability, product portfolio, customer base), PNC has continued to expand its lending partnership with Haskell.

Fairmount Partners, a leading merger and acquisition advisory firm, based in West Conshohocken, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia, PA, acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Haskell in this transaction.  Royer Cooper Cohen Braunfield LLC served as the Company’s legal advisor.
