Support of Excavation (SOE), a portfolio company of Carlin Capital Partners, has joined forces with National Trench Safety and Trench Plate Rental Co, two recently merged portfolio companies that are majority-owned by Tailwind Capital. They combine to form the largest pure play trench safety solutions enterprise in the U.S. The new organization will go to market as National Trench Safety (NTS).
SOE is a premier provider of essential trench safety solutions to the utility, pipeline, underground and heavy-highway construction industries. Through its three branch locations in New Jersey, Maryland and Pennsylvania, SOE’s unmatched shoring expertise and full line of quality equipment have been ensuring safe trench shoring operations for its customers since 2010.
“My team and I are excited to be part of the industry-leading NTS organization” said Ted Costantino, President and Founder of SOE. “As part of a nationwide organization that is singularly focused on providing a full suite of trench safety solutions, we’ll be perfectly positioned to meet the growing infrastructure needs in the major markets SOE serves throughout the Northeastern United States.”
“We could not ask for a more experienced and customer focused team representing NTS in the markets they serve,” said Phil Mason, President and CEO of NTS. “Ted and his team have been in the trench industry since its infancy and their technical expertise and dedication to providing unparalleled service is perfectly aligned with the NTS culture.”
Catalyst Strategic Advisors LLC served as exclusive transaction advisor to Support of Excavation and Carlin Capital Partners.
