Four years later, MC Iron faced extinction with significant financial losses. With its willingness to persevere and the strength of an exceptional turnaround team—JC Jones &amp; Associates—MC Iron found the “inner steel” to make the deep, lasting changes needed to turn a losing operation around and ensure long-term success. The path was painful but in little more than a year, recovery was complete and MC Iron is a different business.This case won the 2008 Small Company Turnaround of the Year Award from the Turnaround Management Association.TOPICS: Private equity, financial crises and financial market history, technical analysis, manager selection
