The DAK Group, an investment bank based in Rochelle Park, announced Monday the sale of Plainview, New York-based Fortbrand Services Inc. to Wincove Private Holdings L.P.

“Fortbrand’s owners have gained a strategic partner to help accelerate their industry leadership position, while simultaneously monetizing the exceptional business they have built.” Scharfstein said.

Wincove, an investor in small businesses, was attracted to Fortbrand due to its “good bones” and growth opportunities in the ground support and airfield management industry, The DAK Group said.
