Rotating Machinery Services Story
Hear RMS speak about the most rewarding part of working with Incline.
Incline was the first institutional partner for RMS. They did a fantastic job of pushing the Company forward while maintaining the legacy and culture that were important components to our success in the market. Incline was also instrumental in RMS completing two very strategic, sizeable acquisitions. Their deep experience completing acquisitions allowed us to better analyze the investments initially and significantly improved our ability to achieve a smooth integration and seamless transition for customers. RMS is strategically positioned for the next phase of growth.
