Blue Point Capital Partners

Blue Point was proud to partner with E3Tech earlier this year after our sale of Sylvan, Inc. and maintain a rollover investment — a vote of confidence in the company’s future. Sylvan has already hit the ground running, acquiring Andy J. Egan Co., an industry-leading mechanical contractor based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This is a move that expands Sylvan’s capabilities and reach. Exciting momentum from a great team. Congratulations to everyone driving this next phase of growth!   Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/g2fBCC4J #PrivateEquity #MergersAndAcquisitions #ValueCreation Jon Pressnell

Blue Point Partner Chip Chaikin recently sat down with PE Hub’s Obey Martin Manayiti to share insights on the firm’s recent exit of Stax — despite a persistently muted exit environment. In the interview, Chip reflects on Stax’s growth journey during Blue Point’s four-year ownership. The article dives into Blue Point’s strategic approach and how disciplined execution led to real results. “I have been doing this for almost 26 years, and this is one of those cases where the company’s growth and return trajectory pretty closely mirrored our original financial model, despite the uninspiring market tailwinds.” Read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/e3-PTkXt   #PrivateEquity #MergersAndAcquisitions #ValueCreation #ExitStrategy Jayson T.
