Hamilton Robinson Capital Partners Further Expands into "Eco-Adjacent" Markets Through the Acquisition of Ross Air Systems
We are pleased to announce that MEGTEC Systems Inc., a portfolio
company of Hamilton Robinson Capital Partners, acquired select
assets of the former Ross Air Systems. For over 30 years Ross Air
Systems designed and manufactured systems to control emissions
from ovens, dryers and similar emitters of VOC's. The transaction
allows MEGTEC to support former Ross Air Systems' customers with
service, spare parts, and engineering services and further strengthens
MEGTEC's expertise within its Advanced Material Processing and
Industrial Emission Controls business units.
About HRCP-Adjacencies
This transaction is an outgrowth of our strategic focus on building
investment ideas where relevance meets experience - a concept we
call "Adjacencies." Through our investments in Davis-Standard LLC
and MEGTEC Systems Inc., HRCP has gained significant insight into
niche ecological, bio-polymer, air pollution control, and carbon
management technologies ("Eco-Adjacencies") selling into industrial
markets.
Davis-Standard is rapidly becoming a leader in equipment solutions for
the emerging bio-polymer industry. Bio-plastics are believed to
represent a technological potential of 10% of the present plastics
market with companies such as Wal-Mart and The Home Depot
announcing plans to expand the use of 'green packaging'.
MEGTEC Systems won the 2008 EPA Climate Protection Award for its
global efforts and patented technology that enables coal mine
ventilation air methane (VAM) to be used as a primary energyproducing
source. MEGTEC's ground breaking system is currently the
world's only officially proven and commercially viable technology to
abate VAM emissions. In addition to its VAM technology, MEGTEC
has a strong presence supplying mission critical process equipment
used in the production of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries which will
be exclusively used in Ford Motor Co.'s plug-in hybrid vehicles.
While we remain committed to our longstanding investment focus, we
wanted you to also know that we intend to increase our focus on "Eco-
Adjacent" opportunities. Should you wish to discuss an investment
opportunity with a group that is well prepared, ready to engage, and
reliable, please call us.
