Alexander Hutton Helps Complete Sale of Missoula, Montana’s Diversified Plastics

In my search for the right partner to help sell our family-owned company, I met with several M&A firms. From my very first conversation with James Thompson, owner of Alexander Hutton and a fellow Montanan, I knew I had found the right fit.
James and his team brought a level of honesty, professionalism, and genuine care that immediately stood out. Throughout the entire process, they made me feel like I was their only client, and that meant more than they probably realized.
This wasn’t just a business transaction for me. This was my dad’s company, then my company, and a place where my wife, my brother-in-law, my son, my nephew, and so many people I love and care about have built their careers. We grew this business from one person to more than 80 employees and finding the right steward for its future was one of the most important decisions of my life.
Because of that, I needed more than an M&A firm—I needed people I could trust completely. James and the Alexander Hutton team earned that trust every step of the way. I relied on them not only for their expertise but also for their guidance. During the moments when the emotions of the process got the best of me, James and his team were always there to listen, offer perspective, and help me stay focused on what mattered most.
There simply aren’t enough words to describe everything that went into this journey or the countless challenges we navigated together. What I can say without hesitation is this: if you’re looking for an M&A partner that combines exceptional expertise with integrity, commitment, and genuine care for their clients, I give James Thompson and the entire Alexander Hutton team my highest recommendation.
What began as a professional relationship has grown into a true friendship, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.
Thank you, James, and thank you to everyone at Alexander Hutton. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide our family through one of the most significant decisions of our lives.
