Oolitic, Ind. – August 6, 2015 – The acquisition and renewed success of Indiana Limestone Co. has earned for Wynnchurch Capital, Ltd. the Turnaround of the Year Award in the Construction & Building Services from Global Mergers & Acquisitions Network (Global M&A).

We would like to take this moment to recognize Tom Quigley, CEO of Indiana Limestone, for his visionary and innovative leadership and the hard work of his team and employees. Our partnership has not only been mutually beneficial to Indiana Limestone and Wynnchurch, but it has also been a positive for the state of Indiana. That’s the kind of deal we like.”

Added Quigley, “We are deeply honored to receive this special recognition. Wynnchurch has been a great partner with vision. This award is also about our employees and our customers – they have been essential contributors to this resurgence.”
