Hilco Global capabilities are more robust than ever.  As we have evolved over the years, our increased access to capital has enabled us to regularly serve as the key capital partner to complete complex transactions in special situations.  In the past 15 months during the global pandemic, Hilco Operating Companies deployed more than $500 million dollars in unique transactions.”

The entire Getzler Henrich management team will remain in place  to deliver results and add value for its clients, while simultaneously collaborating with the 20+ Hilco Global Operating Companies worldwide, explained Hecktman.
