| ABOUT US |
MMC was founded in 1970 and functioned as a Business Survival Consulting Firm during the next three decades.
Our initial project involved the acquisition, conversion to private sector, start-up, “hands-on” management and the ultimate success of three former United States Military Warehouse Facilities located in upstate New York.
This interrelated structure, consisting of thirteen corporations, rapidly grew to over 300 employees! The combined building area of over seven million (7,000,000) square feet and one thousand (1,000) "light industrial"
zoned acres, made this operation one of the largest warehouse and industrial real estate development operations in the United States.
Our founder, Gerard E. McKenna, Jr. functioned as Chief Operating Officer of this conglomerate from the 1970 start up through 1974. During this five year period he personally negotiated and/or
coordinated major real estate transactions with many national companies, including but not limited to the following: |
- State University of New York: 120,000 sq.
ft.
- IBM Canada: 80,000 sq. ft.
- General Motors: 240,000 sq. ft.
- J.J. Newberry: 200,000 sq. ft.
- NYS Office of General Services: 600,000 sq. ft.
- Two Guys: 300,000 sq. ft.
- Milton Bradley: 500,000 sq. ft.
- Scott Paper Company: 400,000 sq. ft.
- Proctor & Gamble: 200,000 sq. ft.
- Goodyear Tire: 150,000 sq. ft.
- Owens Corning Fiber Glass: 400,000 sq. ft.
- IBM Kingston: 250,000 sq. ft.
- G.E. Gas Turbine: 320,000 sq. ft.

During this five year period over five million square feet of real estate deals were consummated.
During the period 1975 through 2000 our firm provided Business Survival Consulting assistance to Clientele involved in Corporate Turnarounds and/or Pre Ch. #11 Workout situations. Occasionally these assignments would conclude as merger, acquisition or sale projects.
Our final major Business Survival project involved the restructuring and negotiation of an eighty-six million dollar ($86,000,000), two-phased sale of a public northeastern regional railroad to a management led group including CSX Corporation and Norfolk Southern Corporation.
Spanning over thirty years these two major projects could be considered career bookends containing scores of other confidential turnaround, merger, acquisition and sale projects.
In 2001 Mr. McKenna retired from “hands on” Business Survival Consulting. Since then our firm has concentrated on merger and sale opportunities. In addition, we have heavily focused on the research and development of a unique Profit Improvement Program. We are now proactively offering this program to select Clientele. |
