2023 - Global Facility Solutions (GFS)

In September 2023, Global Facility Solutions was acquired by a full equity partner, Huron Capital. Through its portfolio company Exigent, Huron Capital has partnered with management to recapitalize GFS. “GFS is proud to partner with a best-in-class mechanical services provider and expand our offerings to key clients and core markets supported by Exigent,” said Robert Calloway, President and Founder of GFS. “It’s exciting to team with an established and experienced investor who understands how to drive organic growth while guiding overall firm strategy.”

As a result of this restructuring, GFS has access to increased capital funds and key business service relationships. By expanding on our increased reach and depth via Huron Capital and Exigent, as well as the other operating companies under the Exigent umbrella, GFS can enhance our client services and further heighten our ability to provide engineering and sustainability services to clients throughout the United States.

The GFS team remains unchanged and will continue to provide the same individualized, customer-focused energy engineering and sustainability solutions that has been at the cornerstone of our service history.
