Huron Capital’s Pueblo Mechanical & Controls Expands in New Mexico with Acquisition
Travers Mechanical Services introduces Pueblo into its fourth U.S. state and adds a new market for expansion.
DETROIT–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Leading middle-market private equity firm Huron Capital Partners (“Huron Capital”) announced today that its HVAC and plumbing installation, retrofit and repair services platform, Pueblo Mechanical & Controls (“Pueblo”), has acquired Travers Mechanical Services (“Travers”).
Travers is based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and provides HVAC and plumbing services, including maintenance, repair, and installation work with a team of approximately 40. Mike Travers Jr., President, and Mike Youngman, Vice President of Operations, will remain with the business and maintain their leadership roles. Travers was founded in 2006 by Mike Travers Sr. and Mike Travers Jr.
“The addition of the Travers team is the latest move to ramp our services up in new markets and we’re thrilled to welcome them to the Pueblo family,” said Dan Bueschel, CEO of Pueblo. “Accelerating Pueblo’s M&A strategy in the last year has given us access to new markets that fit squarely in the company’s target demographics for growth and we’re looking forward to continuing our expansion in New Mexico.”
The acquisition of Travers is Pueblo’s seventh add-on acquisition in the last 10 months and the 13th overall for the company. Huron Capital acquired Pueblo with Bueschel in 2017 and have since executed an ExecFactor® buy-and-build strategy in the commercial HVAC and plumbing market across the Sun Belt and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. ExecFactor® is Huron’s proprietary, thematic investment strategy where the firm underwrites an industry and partner with an executive to deploy our buy-and-build investment model.
“The last 12 months have given us an opportunity to accelerate growth organically and through M&A and we’re proud of the tremendous progress that Dan and Pueblo have made,” said Huron Capital Partner, Scott Hauncher. “Identifying opportunities like Travers and being able to access new markets is a core component of our growth strategy for Pueblo and we’re excited to work with Mike and Mike to grow the business.”
