Auto-Motion Shade Inc. has been acquired by Quadrivium Advisors.
Coldwater acted as the exclusive M&A advisor to Auto-Motion Shade Inc. (“AMS” or the “Company”) in connection with its sale to Quadrivium Advisors (“Quadrivium”).
For more than 25 years, AMS has been a leading manufacturer and distributor of manual and motorized roll-up sun visors, sun protection shades, and screen door solutions. The Company serves a diverse customer base across transportation industries, including RVs, trucks, coaches, transit vehicles, rail cars, locomotives, agricultural equipment, and construction equipment. With operations in the Greater Toronto Area and China, AMS has established itself as one of the largest shade and visor manufacturers for the transportation sector in Canada.
Quadrivium is a Toronto-based M&A advisory firm that partners with senior executives and entrepreneurs to acquire small to medium-sized businesses throughout Canada.
Coldwater’s global outreach generated competitive tension by engaging strategic buyers across Asia, Europe, and North America, with a Swedish acquirer effectively setting the price for the ultimate Canadian buyer. The process delivered a premium valuation and highlighted Coldwater’s ability to attract international interest for Canadian businesses. A Coldwater principal continues to serve on AMS’s board, guiding management and ongoing strategic support post-transaction.
