“In light of macroeconomic tailwinds in infrastructure, RoadSafe is very well-positioned for future growth. Overall spend in the infrastructure and utility subsectors has consistently grown for the past 20-30 years and it’s expected to continue to increase given the new administration’s commitment to repairing the country’s outdated systems. We look forward to leveraging our expertise and resources, alongside our partners at Trilantic North America, to support RoadSafe as it seeks to continue to enhance its competitive position.”
Mr. Charles Fleischmann, Partner at Trilantic North America said, “Dave and the RoadSafe team have done a tremendous job of growing the company into the leading national player in this essential and underinvested segment of the infrastructure market. Private capital will play a crucial role in rebuilding and modernizing U.S. infrastructure and we are thrilled to partner with the RoadSafe and Investcorp teams to strengthen this entrepreneurial business’ leadership position in a highly fragmented industry.”
“We are excited to embark on this next chapter of our business with the support of Investcorp and Trilantic North America. Their resources, expertise, and track record will enable us to continue executing our growth strategy and better serve our clients. We look forward to the long-term benefits this partnership will unlock for our team, clients, and communities,” stated Mr. Dave Meirick, CEO of RoadSafe.
