Company Description

Pro Pipe utilizes a managed vendor service delivery model, and the Company’s extensive network of sub-contractors is comprised of laborers, who are supervised by highly-trained in-house project managers.

Services Provided
MelCap Partners served as the exclusive investment banker and financial advisor to Pro Pipe and KJM Capital in the sale of the Company. MelCap Partners would like to thank Pro Pipe and KJM Capital for hiring us to represent the Company in this transaction. It was an honor and pleasure to work with Pro Pipe and KJM Capital throughout this exciting process.
Result
In an effort to provide the shareholders with liquidity, and to continue to support the Company’s strategic growth plans, MelCap Partners was able to successfully identify the ideal buyer for the business. As a result, Pro Pipe was sold to PremiStar (formerly Reedy Industries), headquartered in Deerfield, IL. PremiStar is a leader in the provision of commercial HVAC, building automation, and plumbing services throughout the United States. Pro Pipe will serve as a vital piece of PremiStar’s strategic initiative to expand its core service offering into process piping – particularly outside of HVAC and plumbing. The acquisition also provides PremiStar and Pro Pipe with substantial cross-selling opportunities with both businesses. PremiStar is a portfolio company of Partners Group, headquartered in Baar, Switzerland. Partners Group is one of the largest global private market investment managers in the world, and currently maintains nearly $150 billion of assets under management.
