RF recently announced the exit of SPATCO Energy Solutions, the firm’s largest Fund I exit to date. SPATCO has built a solid reputation for delivering high-quality products and outstanding customer support, establishing itself as a leader in the petroleum industry since the 1930s. Based in Charlotte, SPATCO operates 33 offices with a team of 1,000 dedicated professionals. Serving the company for over 20 years, John Force was named President and CEO in 2021. “RF’s initial investment in SPATCO set the stage for exponential growth over the last five years,” said SPATCO President and CEO John Force. “RF stands for relationship first, and Peter and his team have upheld every end of that promise — from supporting our board to hosting and having me at their inaugural RF CEO Summit. The combined efforts of the RF and Kian teams have enabled us to reach landmark results in the fueling infrastructure sector.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eyv4EC95 Peter Rothschild #CharlotteBusiness #Exit #PrivateEquity #MergersandAcquisitions

RF is excited to announce the exit of SPATCO Energy Solutions, a leading provider of sales, service, maintenance, installation, and compliance solutions for fueling infrastructure across the United States and Canada. In partnership with Kian Capital Partners, RF supported the initial investment in SPATCO with its SBIC Fund I investment in late 2019. Since then, SPATCO has closed eight strategic add-on investments, generated extensive geographical growth, and quintupled its EBITDA, making it RF’s most significant exit in firm history. RF plans to continue to support SPATCO and its management team by reinvesting in its recently announced continuation fund.
