Hilco was able to retain ~50 employees as part of the purchase and establishment of the new fleet management operating company, H19 Capital.

How Hilco Performance Solutions’ Financial Modeling and Pre-Deal Diligence Helped Drive a Successful Transaction for a Truck Leasing and Sales Business
In 2019, an over-supply of Class 8
trucks flooded the market resulting in
a significant downturn in the freight
industry. 19th Capital’s active lease
percentage dropped drastically, and
profitability plummeted. The issue was
magnified by the fact that the company
had been bought and sold many times in
recent years. Its legacy owners included
Celedon and Quality Companies. These
rapid management changes left 19th
Capital without strategic direction and
efficient processes.
