ROI Corporation, a leading business brokerage firm based in Weymouth, MA, Simsbury, CT, and Marietta, GA, today announced that it recently completed brokering the sale of the Marlborough-based Middlesex Cooling to Taunton-based Cotti-Johnson HVAC.

Denis Nezheritskiy, a broker at ROI Corporation, handled the transaction for ROI Corporation. Middlesex Cooling, sold by Bob Bersey, has operated since 1981, providing HVAC services to the communities of Acton, Ashland, Berlin, Bolton, Framingham, Holden, Hopkinton, Hudson, Lincoln, Littleton, Marlborough, Maynard, Northborough, Shrewsbury, Southborough, Stow, Sudbury, Worcester, Westborough and surrounding areas. Cotti-Johnson HVAC has been in business since 1944, focusing originally on projects throughout the South Shore and the Cape but expanding throughout eastern Massachusetts in recent years. Adam and Angelo Bocalinni have owned Cotti-Johnson since 2008 when they purchased the business through ROI Corporation. Terms of this recent sale were not disclosed.

“Middlesex Cooling is a great fit for us,” said the Bocalinnis. “Given that we currently offer hearth-related services out of Wayland, this purchase will help us to offer additional services to the towns west of Boston.

“We’re also lucky to be adding a great group of employees to our company,” they added.

“It was great working with Bob, Adam, and Angelo on this transaction of two longstanding HVAC businesses, both of which enjoy very positive reputations in their regions,” said Nezheritskiy.
