“This acquisition aligns with our core commitment to meet the needs of our customers across a broad spectrum of market segments,” said Michael LeClair, President and CEO of Babcock Power. “We provide solutions that support global energy and RCI is the ideal partner to help us continue this growth. RCI’s wind turbine expertise will be a strong addition to our existing portfolio and supports our strategic vision to serve the growing global demand for safe, reliable, and clean energy.”
Capstone Partners identified [Renewable Concepts] as a potential acquisition target and was instrumental is convincing RCI to enter into exclusive negotiations with BPI without talking to other potential acquirers. Capstone’s buyside expertise was crucial to BPI as we embark on the next growth phase for the company.
Bill Sprague, Managing Director at Capstone commented, “We identified infrastructure services as a sector that is ripe for consolidation as the sector is highly fragmented with a significant number of second and third generation family-owned business. We worked extensively with BPI to identify companies that would benefit from a relationship with a company that had a broader market reach and additional resources. RCI was one of the first companies that we reached out to, and we think they will be great partners for each other.
