Tenex Capital Management Closes Sale of PEMCO
New York, NY – October 10th, 2017 – Tenex Capital Management (“Tenex”) is pleased to announce the sale of Progressive Employer Management Company (“PEMCO”) to CoAdvantage. PEMCO is a Professional Employer Organization (“PEO”) providing outsourced payroll, workers compensation, benefits and human resources solutions to small and medium businesses via a co-employment relationship.
Tenex acquired PEMCO in August 2015 and has helped grow the profitability of the business significantly since the initial investment by: i) improving client mix through revised sales commission structures; ii) increasing client retention through a revamped client service platform, implementation of a branch-based business model, and improved customer experience; iii) driving a reduction of workers compensation claims and frequency through more rigorous underwriting and proactive risk management; and iv) optimizing payroll processing productivity.
PEMCO CEO Clint Burgess commented, “PEMCO’s core values will remain unchanged as the company continues to grow under new ownership. We have enjoyed the success of our partnership with Tenex, and we look forward to leveraging that foundation through our combination with the CoAdvantage team.”
Tenex Managing Director Chad Spooner said, “We are incredibly proud of the operational achievements and transformative growth accomplished during our partnership with PEMCO. It has been a testament to the management team’s focus and strength, and we wish them all the best in their next endeavor.”
The transaction was effective as of October 2, 2017.
