CIC Partners, a Dallas-based middle-market private equity firm, has completed the sale of DynaGrid Holdings LLC to BBH Capital Partners.
Headquartered in Dallas, DynaGrid is one of the largest independent providers of subgrade and sitework services for electric utility transmission infrastructure. DynaGrid performs essential and technical services required to upgrade, harden and expand transmission infrastructure. DynaGrid's co-founders, CEO Charlie Ferrara and CFO Kendrew Witt, will remain in their current roles and retain significant ownership.
"Our partnership with Charlie Ferrara and Kendrew Witt has been outstanding. We're very excited and grateful for what was accomplished over a short period of time," said Fouad Bashour, Managing Partner at CIC. "We are particularly proud of our affiliation with this Texas-based essential business helping meet the infrastructure demands of our fast-growing region."
"Charlie and Kendrew are best-in-class operators with a well-deserved reputation for excellent service, safety and project execution and have done a great job growing the Company's base of blue-chip customers," said Scott Donaldson, Sector Partner at CIC.
CIC partnered with DynaGrid management in March 2018 to support further expansion of the Company and since that time, they have grown DynaGrid into a market leader.
Charlie Ferrara, DynaGrid CEO, added, "We have enjoyed working with the team at CIC and are grateful for their support of DynaGrid's tremendous growth over the past couple of years."
Piper Sandler acted as exclusive financial advisor to DynaGrid and Baker Botts served as legal advisor.
