Alta Towers Advisors links Driver Industrial to Outdoors For Life acquisition

Alta Towers Advisors says it identified Outdoors For Life as a strategic target and introduced the parties that led to Driver Industrial OpCo’s acquisition of the Michigan-based manufacturer on Sept. 18, 2026. The deal expands Driver’s product lineup with equipment-stabilization pads and mats used by contractors, utilities and RV owners.

Why it matters: - The acquisition gives Driver Industrial OpCo a new product line that overlaps with customers already served by the company. - Outdoors For Life adds heavy-duty pads and mats used to stabilize equipment and protect ground surfaces. - The deal may broaden Driver’s reach with contractor and utility buyers.

What happened: - Driver Industrial OpCo, LLC, a portfolio company of Bosworth Capital Partners, completed its acquisition of the operating assets of Outdoors For Life, LLC on Sept. 18, 2026. - Alta Towers Advisors identified Outdoors For Life as a strategic acquisition opportunity for Driver and introduced the parties on the buy side. - The transaction was announced Sept. 23, 2026.

The details: - Outdoors For Life is based in Webberville, Michigan. - The company manufactures heavy-duty plastic pads and mats. - Its products include outrigger and crane pads, pole puller pads, mud pads and RV jack pads. - The company sells through digital channels and a distributor network. - Core customers include construction companies, utility contractors, crane operators, tree services and RV owners. - The acquisition was structured as an asset purchase. - The deal included the Outdoors For Life brand, intellectual property, digital assets, equipment, inventory and goodwill. - Financial terms were not disclosed. - Ray Torres, co-founder and managing partner of Alta Towers Advisors, serves as chief executive officer of Driver Industrial OpCo. - Alta Towers Advisors said Torres’ dual role helped streamline communication and speed the transaction.

Between the lines: - Alta Towers Advisors’ role was limited to target identification and the strategic introduction, not full deal execution. - The overlap between Outdoors For Life’s customers and Driver’s existing base suggests the acquisition is meant to deepen commercial relationships rather than chase a new market. - The deal also shows how advisor relationships can influence sourcing and transaction flow in lower-middle-market M&A. - Dr. Andrei Duta, co-founder and managing partner of Alta Towers Advisors, said the firm focused on finding a business with a clear strategic fit and bringing the parties together.
