Huron Capital, a lower middle-market private equity firm in Detroit, today announced its portfolio company, The Exigent Group, has acquired Superior Building Services in Columbus, Ohio. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Superior is the eighth acquisition for Exigent since Huron’s initial platform acquisition in late 2022. Exigent was established through Huron’s ExecFactor buy-and-build strategy, which focuses on partnering with leadership teams to scale businesses providing mission-critical services in sectors where Huron brings expertise and a proven playbook.
Superior is a mechanical contractor specializing in boiler, chiller, and HVAC service and retrofit solutions. The company serves a diverse set of end markets, including education, food and beverage, health care, and government, and has established a leading presence across the greater Columbus region.
The company is led by President Bill Detillion and Vice President Jason Abbott, both of whom will continue to lead local operations.
“We’re excited to join Exigent and leverage the platform to accelerate our growth both within our existing footprint and in adjacent markets,” says Detillion.
Peter van Niekerk, CEO of Exigent, says, “Bill, Jason, and the Superior team have built a strong reputation for customer service, quality, and reliable execution, all of which are core values to Exigent. We look forward to extending our presence in Ohio, particularly in the high-growth Columbus market, where well-funded school districts, state agencies, and large facility customers are driving sustained demand for mechanical services.”
