The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

According to HGGC, the fire protection company’s CEO and founding family member Michael Teeter will continue to steer the business and will hold on to a significant ownership stake.

Michael Teeter – CEO of Marmic Fire & Safety said: “We are very excited to partner with HGGC to build on the consistent growth we have achieved over the past decade.

HGGC’s partnership approach made them a perfect fit to help us continue to identify and acquire other great fire protection companies to join the Marmic family.”

Marmic Fire & Safety had made 18 acquisitions since 2012 to expand its business to serve over 30,000 customers.
