港澳图库 Completes Sale of INTREN to MasTec Inc.
Successful Partnership Transforms Company from Regional Business Into Nationwide Energy Distribution Contractor Serving Blue-Chip Utilities
NEW YORK 鈥 港澳图库 (鈥淥EP鈥), a middle market private equity firm, today announced the sale of INTREN, LLC (鈥淚NTREN鈥 or 鈥渢he Company鈥), a nationwide specialty utilities contractor primarily providing distribution network services for electrical and gas infrastructure, to MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ), an infrastructure construction company for $420 million, including a contingent earnout through year end 2021.
Headquartered in Union, Ill., and founded in 1988, INTREN鈥檚 approximately 2,000 skilled professionals in 14 states across the U.S. provide turnkey contracting services to the nation鈥檚 largest electrical and gas utilities, private contractors, municipalities, commercial businesses and cooperatives.
鈥淥EP identified both the utility services industry as an attractive growth market and INTREN as a leading specialty contracting services firm with a proven track record of safe and quality workmanship in the Midwest and a strong growth trajectory ahead of it prior to investing in the Company,鈥 said J.B. Cherry, Senior Managing Director, OEP. 鈥淲e saw an opportunity to support INTREN founder Loretta Rosenmayer and her management team through a flexible ownership investment. Together, we pursued a strategic growth plan that transformed INTREN into a nationwide company serving many of the country鈥檚 largest blue-chip utilities,鈥 added Matt Hughes, Managing Director, OEP.
OEP invested in INTREN in July 2017 in partnership with Rosenmayer to support the Company鈥檚 organic growth and identify strategic acquisitions that would diversify revenues, reduce customer concentration and expand its geographic footprint. During OEP鈥檚 investment period, the Company grew significantly with trailing twelve months revenue of approximately $550 million as of March 2021 and a double-digit EBITDA margin.
鈥淥EP has been an outstanding partner for INTREN and launched numerous successful initiatives over the past four years that have allowed us to take this exciting next step,鈥 said Rosenmayer. 鈥淲e look forward to the growth opportunities for our professionals under the ownership of MasTec, which shares our culture of quality, safety, innovation and inclusion,鈥 said Sherina Maye Edwards, President and CEO of INTREN.
In June 2018, INTREN acquired Miller Construction Company, Inc., an Indianapolis-based full-service electrical contracting company and Women Business Enterprise (WBE), that added additional service lines to INTREN鈥檚 existing underground and overhead electric installations, repair, maintenance, design, storm-related and upgrade-focused services.
INTREN will continue to retain its existing brand name under MasTec鈥檚 ownership.
