After interviewing dozens of PE firms, I chose to partner with Jason based on, not only his knowledge and strong business acumen, but he was truly the “right fit”. Jason Duzan is professional, down to earth, genuine, calm, supportive, and works with you like a true partner. He excelled amongst the rest in the areas of business strategy, decision making, and financial management. He always looked out for my personal best interests and at the same time…the best for the company. I was tremendously successful under his leadership and guidance, and as an owner/CEO of a business, I would definitely recommend him and would personally choose to partner with him over and over again.

Over the course of my career, I have had the opportunity to partner with multiple private equity funds and by extension been fortunate to work with extraordinarily talented individuals. Jason stands out as someone who has keen business judgement, fosters calculated risk taking and is incredibly down to earth. He was insightful and calm as we experienced the typical growing pains of a fast paced company. Simply put, Jason has both substance and style.

Dial Tool Industries has been a family-owned organization for over 68 years. When choosing a buyer to carry on our legacy, we wanted to find a buyer that would meet our principles, employee concerns, customer relations, growth, and management style. After interviewing many firms, we concluded Colfax Creek was a great fit. Jason’s business expertise, philosophy, and professionalism met our criteria. We are pleased and proud to have selected him.
