Juniper Capital Management, a lower-middle private equity firm, is pleased to announce the successful sale of its portfolio company, Infrastructure Services Group LLC (“ISG” or “The Company”), to Azuria, a portfolio company of New Mountain Capital.
Juniper invested in and created ISG in 2018 through combining Green Mountain Pipeline Services and Mr. Rehab Sewer System Rehabilitation under the ISG umbrella. In 2021, Juniper completed an add-on acquisition to bring Rhode Island-based Inland Waters, another specialized pipeline services provider, into the ISG family of companies. Since its formation, ISG has become one the largest cured-in-place-pipe lining providers in the New England and mid-Atlantic areas.
“We are proud of the partnership we built with ISG and believe they have an exciting future,” said Lou Grabowsky, Managing Partner at Juniper. “Our investments in the Company’s management team, employees, capabilities, and systems infrastructure, position the Company for continued success.”
“The Juniper team provided us with the experience and guidance to help us execute our long term-strategy,” said Mike Sisk, CEO of ISG. “We stayed true to our core values, executed our strategic plans, and remained strongly committed to our employees and customers throughout our growth journey.”
Haynes and Boone served as legal counsel and Stifel served as financial advisor to ISG.
