“Early on it became evident that LongWater is a culture-led organization with values that align strongly with Jetta. Trust, respect, and relationship building was as much a part of the acquisition process as was financial due diligence. As a result, the Jetta team is motivated, energized, and excited for the future with LongWater. We could not have found a better partner.”

— Sarah Fields
CEO of Jetta Corp.

“This is the beginning of a new chapter in the history of our family business, and a fitting capstone on the successful careers of an older generation, my father and uncle. Thanks to LongWater’s commitment to our growth and continued success, M3 is now positioned to serve our customers into the future with the quality and service that they have come to expect.”

— Chris Mammen
Owner of M3 Glass Technologies

“Throughout the diligence process, LongWater demonstrated a keen interest in understanding the culture as well as the financial details of our business. Post-acquisition they have been a true partner, offering expertise and support, when necessary, while allowing management to execute the plan. This team is smart and engaged.”

— David Twite
