The Exigent Croup, a portfolio company of Detroit-based middle-market private equity firm Huron Capital, has acquired Premier Mechanical Services in Lima, Ohio. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
This acquisition marks Exigent’s second purchase in northwest Ohio, following its partnership with Smith-Boughan Mechanical in July 2024. Premier is a commercial and industrial HVAC and mechanical services company.
“The strategic partnership between Premier and Smith-Boughan strengthens Exigent’s presence in Ohio and the surrounding region,” says Peter van Niekerk, CEO of Exigent, which is headquartered in Virginia. “Premier brings exceptional technical expertise and a service-driven approach that will support sustainable growth and innovation for our organization.”
Exigent was launched in 2022 as part of Huron Capital’s buy-and-build ExecFactor investment strategy. Other recently closed ExecFactor investments include Rampart Exterior Services, a provider of commercial roofing and building exterior services, and Criticore, a provider of mission-critical, highly technical electrical services.
