La Jolla, California – Schwartz Advisors (SA), an M&A advisory and strategic planning firm for the automotive aftermarket industry, announced that SA has acted as the exclusive sell-side advisor to SCA Performance in its successful sale to Kinderhook Industries LLC.
SCA Performance, owned by the McSweeney family and headquartered in Trussville, AL, is a leading OEM authorized specialty vehicle manufacturer for light-duty trucks. The company receives new vehicles directly from the OEMs, adds specialty packages and then sells the up-fitted vehicles to new truck dealers with a full OEM warranty.

Kinderhook Industries is a private-equity firm that focuses on middle-market companies in a variety of industries.
“SCA has been in the McSweeney family for almost 40 years, and selling the business was a big step for us,” said Michael McSweeney, Managing Partner of McSweeney Holdings. “Schwartz Advisors understood our family’s needs and worked hand in hand with us through the entire process.”
“The Schwartz Advisors expertise went beyond guiding us through the mechanics of selling the business,” said Matt McSweeney, president of SCA. “Their knowledge of the automotive space was especially valuable. And through SA’s industry connections, we were introduced to Kinderhook, the perfect partner to lead SCA into the future.”
