KAL Capital partner and co-founder, Ryan Murphy, said, “We’re so appreciative of the trust Gen Cap America put into the KAL Capital team to advise on such a marquee company in their portfolio. Even though the market developed some turbulence due to Covid, our collective effort produced a highly successful exit for a key private equity client.”

Trevor Bohn, partner and co-founder of KAL Capital, also added, “David Meier, President & CEO of ASE and his leadership team grew ASE into a dominant global leader while partnered with Gen Cap America. Now in partnership with Calspan the team will undoubtedly double the business again.”
