M&A in Automation: Clint Bundy on Valuations, Talent, and the Future of System Integrators
Monday, 16 March, 2026
In this episode of Talking Industrial Automation, host Lisa Richter speaks with Clint Bundy, Managing Director at Bundy Group, a boutique investment bank that has spent more than three decades advising companies in automation, control systems integration, industrial technology, IoT, and cybersecurity. Clint shares how growing up in a family business shaped his career in mergers and acquisitions and explains how Bundy Group helps founders and management teams navigate some of the biggest decisions they'll ever make—selling a company, raising capital, or finding the right strategic partner. The conversation explores the rapid growth of M&A activity in the system integration market, the difference between strategic buyers and private equity investors, and what makes automation companies attractive acquisition targets. Clint also breaks down the four key drivers of company value—stability, profitability, growth, and scale—and offers practical advice for owners who want to build stronger businesses, whether they plan to sell or not.
