“We have partnered with the highly capable and experienced management team at Amteck. They have built one of the country’s leading electrical contractors with a steep growth trajectory that we can help support” commented Conner Searcy, Managing Partner at Trive Capital. “Trive’s history of investing in the engineering and construction sector together with our hands-on approach to portfolio company operations resonated with the Amteck team as they searched for a partner.”
Amteck owner Daren Turner stated, “Trive’s historical expertise in our industry and genuine desire to understand our business to tailor a transaction structure that would put us in a great position to achieve our growth objectives was a true differentiator. Amteck has always been a relationship-focused company with a culture of customer service and it was important to us that our partner have a like-minded approach.”
Trive Managing Director Desmond Henry noted, “Trive is proud to team up with Amteck. We will endeavor to be a resource for the management team as they continue to be value-added partners to their customers. We will strive to be additive to the Amteck team as the nature of the upcoming domestic non-residential construction projects takes on increased scope and complexity.”
