Baker Tilly Capital successfully completed the sale of H&M Distributing Company, a beer distributor headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin to Frank Beer Distributors of Middleton, Wisconsin. The transaction stemmed from the joint venture of Miller Coors.

H&M Distributing Company's president, George Colletti, purchased the company in 1972 and constructed H&M's building in 1980. Two additions brought the building up to 55,000 square feet, which allowed H&M to maintain an average of 125,000 cases and 6,000 kegs of beer in the warehouse. In addition to Miller, other products distributed by H&M included Leinenkugel's, Heineken, Labatt, and Peroni beers and Boylan's root beer and sodas. The company provided weekly service to more than 1,000 retailers in Wisconsin.

"With the joint venture of Miller Coors, we were ready for the next career phase and the Tax and M&A specialists at Baker Tilly helped us get there with their objective advice in selling H&M Distributing. They were timely, extremely knowledgeable about the beer industry and worked hard for us. Given the industry changes, this was the best outcome and produced the highest after tax return for our situation. Baker Tilly knows our business and delivered results in an efficient and highly professional manner." 

      - George Colletti, President
