FMI Capital Advisors Announces Sale of Valley Fire Protection Systems to Endeavor Fire Protection, a Platform Company of Building Industry Partners
FMI Capital Advisors is pleased to announce the sale of Valley Fire Protection Systems (Valley) to Endeavor Fire Protection (Endeavor), a platform company of Building Industry Partners. Endeavor was formed concurrently with the acquisition of Valley. FMI Capital Advisors served as the exclusive financial advisor to Valley for this transaction.
Founded in 1974, Valley installs, services and repairs fire suppression and plumbing systems throughout the Midwestern United States. The company offers a comprehensive suite of systems and services to a diverse customer base including the commercial, industrial and government markets.
“We are extremely happy to announce the formation of Endeavor Fire Protection and the closing of the Valley Fire Protection Systems acquisition,” said Robert Lane, vice president at BIP. “Valley brings extraordinary capabilities and a long-standing reputation as a leader in the fire protection sector. Given the strong leadership at all levels of the company, we believe Valley will continue to innovate and grow. We are confident that this will be a strong partnership.”
The acquisition addressed the desire of Valley’s management team to recapitalize and grow the business. The entire Valley management team will remain with the company.
“We are on a mission to not only be the very best fire protection and plumbing contractor, but also to be the very best place to work for our employees,” said Dave Sobota, executive vice president at Valley. “BIP’s talent resources, access to growth capital and deep industry relationships will allow us to greatly strengthen the wonderful foundation Valley has built over the last 40 years. This partnership will allow us to provide even more opportunities to our employees and better serve our customers.”
Phillip Rooney, one of the sellers of Valley added, “FMI’s team proved to be invaluable advisors throughout the entire transaction process.”
“FMI was an incredible resource, and their team was essential to the success of this acquisition,” said Lane.
