True North Mergers & Acquisitions Advises C4 Welding on Its Sale to Millerbernd Manufacturing
MINNEAPOLIS, MN - May 15, 2025 – True North Mergers & Acquisitions announced it has successfully advised C4 Welding, a precision machining and welding manufacturer, in its sale to Millerbernd Manufacturing, a global leader in custom-engineered circular products and transportation infrastructure components.
Based in Sauk Rapids, C4 Welding has built a strong reputation for manufacturing excellence. With a 154,000-square-foot facility and a highly skilled team, the company has been a key player in precise fabrication for over a decade.
Through a strategic advisory and market outreach process, True North Mergers & Acquisitions identified Millerbernd Manufacturing as an ideal buyer; this agreement would accelerate Millerbernd's next phase of growth and continue C4 Welding's legacy. Headquartered in Winsted, Minnesota, Millerbernd offers high-quality circular steel products and critical transportation infrastructure components, both of which are used across several industries, including mining, construction, transportation, and wind energy.
The sale that True North Mergers & Acquisitions facilitated will allow Millerberned to significantly expand its manufacturing capacity and capabilities while preserving C4 Welding's strong operational base and workforce. The Sauk Rapids facility will continue operations under the new name Millerbernd Circular Products, with the C4 Welding team remaining in place.
"This fast-tracks our long-term growth strategy," said Trevor Millerbernd, owner and CEO of Millerbernd. "Now we have additional capacity and access to the area's largest pool of talent, which will have an immediate impact."
True North Mergers & Acquisitions guided C4 Welding through the transaction, from initial preparation to closing, identifying a buyer aligned with the company's values and vision. The deal underscores their expertise in helping lower middle market businesses achieve successful outcomes through comprehensive succession planning and targeted, thoughtful buyer outreach.
