Corporate Finance Associates Worldwide Advises Riekes Equipment Company in its Acquisition by MH Equipment

Los Angeles, California - November 9, 2026 — Corporate Finance Associates Worldwide, Inc. (CFAW), a leading middle-market investment bank, served as the exclusive financial advisor to Riekes Equipment Company in its acquisition by MH Equipment, one of the largest material handling equipment dealers in the United States. The partnership brings together two established Midwest organizations with complementary capabilities, deep industry expertise and a shared commitment to serving customers, supporting employees and driving continued growth.

Founded 90 years ago in Omaha, Nebraska, Riekes Equipment Company has established a strong reputation for delivering comprehensive material handling solutions, including overhead crane and hoist installation, inspection and service, dock and door services, and specialized customer training through its Customer Discovery Center.

"Riekes Equipment represents everything that makes a family-built, middle-market business exceptional — a remarkable legacy, deep customer relationships, a dedicated team, and an outstanding reputation in the industry. Our objective throughout the sale process was not simply to identify a buyer, but to find the right strategic partner who would respect that legacy while providing the resources and opportunities to accelerate the company's next chapter of growth. MH Equipment emerged as an excellent strategic fit, bringing complementary capabilities, shared values, and a strong commitment to the people and customers who have made Riekes successful. We are proud to have advised Riekes on this important milestone and to have helped position the business for continued success for generations to come" said Jim Zipursky, lead investment banker in the transaction at the Omaha office of CFAW.

"After more than 40 years with Riekes, this was one of the most important decisions I've made. We weren't just looking for a buyer. We wanted a partner who shared our values, recognized what our people have built and could help carry our legacy forward. Jim Zipursky and the CFAW team understood what mattered most to us and provided valuable guidance throughout the process. MH Equipment brings the resources and opportunities to build on our success while preserving the relationships and commitment to service that have defined Riekes for 90 years. I'm confident this partnership puts our employees, customers and company in a strong position for the future," said Duncan Murphy, president of Riekes Equipment.
