Atar Capital Completes Its Acquisition of Furmanite’s Midstream Quality Assurance Business
Investment Represents First Acquisition for Atar Capital
Atar Capital, a Los Angeles-based, global private equity firm, announced today that it has completed its acquisition of
Furmanite’s Midstream Quality Assurance Business from a wholly owned subsidiary of Team, Inc. (NYSE: TISI). Based in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, the business serves as an independent, outsourced provider of inspection and integrity services for all disciplines of
midstream pipeline, pipeline stations, terminals, power plants, tank storage farms and other energy related fields. Terms of the
acquisition were not disclosed.
Effective immediately, the business will be rebranded as Frontier Integrity Solutions (“FIS”). FIS is one of the leading
independent inspection and integrity service companies in North America.
Cyrus Nikou, Founder and Managing Partner of Atar Capital, said: “FIS has a tremendous management team already in place that
will benefit greatly from the operational resources and entrepreneurial spirit that Atar Capital provides. We have a clear path to
grow this business organically, and our team is excited to help take this company to the next level.”
While Mr. Nikou has completed numerous transactions in his private equity career, the FIS acquisition marks the first
transaction for Atar Capital in 2016. “This is a tremendous accomplishment for Atar Capital. To complete a carve-out acquisition of
this size in our first six months since launch, and within 40 days of signing an LOI, demonstrates our firm’s capabilities and
commitment to getting deals done. From the start, I set high expectations for our team, and we will continue to raise the bar as we
head into what will be a very big year.”
