Hear From Our Partners

“My experience in the sale of my company All In One Insulation to SEI Inc. was a good one. They said they would keep the management, salespeople and other employees with the same methods of compensation and doing business. My company was built on honesty, integrity and quality and SEI has continued running the company in that fashion. My dealings with Trent Johnson and Steve Click have been one of mutual respect and friendship.”

Ron White, All-in-One Insulation (Greenville, SC)

“I thoroughly enjoyed working with the SEI group. Their acquisition team made the transition very easy and quick. I have stayed with the team for almost four years. This has allowed me to maintain my entrepreneurial spirit along with ongoing support in the growth and success of my/our business. I would encourage any owner looking to transition to partner with our great team.”

Jimmy Stephens, Stephens Building Products (Raleigh, NC)
