The transaction closed August 30, 2019 and details were not disclosed.

The Company’s key markets are commercial, retail, and industrial buildings, as well as utilities and municipalities. PVM has over 3,000 active customers and was founded in 1998.

Generational Capital Markets Managing Director of Mergers & Acquisitions, Phil Pizzurro, successfully closed the deal. Senior Managing Director Roger Dean established the initial relationship with Power Vac.

"It was apparent from the first meeting that Pillsman/Peninsula were the right partners for PVM. They had previously invested in, grew, and successfully exited a very similar jet/vac servicing business, which provided us with the confidence and comfort that we were engaging with an additive and experienced partner,” Phil Pizzurro said. “Their culture and values only reinforced our position. I am grateful to have played a role in the creation of this partnership.”
