Interra Managing Partner Patrick Kennelly, Managing Partner Paul Waterloo and Director Nathan Zito represented buyer, Pabcor Management, which is led by principals Ted Arvanitis, Gus Pablecas and Matt Pablecas. Kennelly, Waterloo and Zito also represented the seller, Neder Capital Services. Yaryna Makarchuk served as the seller’s representative throughout the transaction.
