EthosEnergy provides aftermarket maintenance, repair, and overhaul (“MRO”) as well as outsourced operations & maintenance to power generation and industrial customers operating industrial gas turbines (“IGTs”) and other related, complex equipment. EthosEnergy has three divisions: Optimized Solutions, Operations & Maintenance (O&M), and Aerospace & Defense MRO. The company employs more than 3,600 individuals across 23 global sites and facilities.
Ante Kusurin, Partner at One Equity Partners said, “EthosEnergy is uniquely positioned to meet the growing maintenance needs of an aging turbine fleet, As energy demand rises, these turbines are being pushed beyond their initial design parameters, creating significant opportunities for EthosEnergy’s flexible, cost-effective services.”
The gas power market is benefitting from several trends, including emerging market growth, adoption of electric vehicles, electrification of heat and other industrial functions, increasing data center demand, and a growing share of ‘intermittent’ renewable capacity that relies on dispatchable gas power to stabilize the grid.
Ana Amicarella, CEO of EthosEnergy said, “As we seek to enhance and grow our operations, we are pleased to have OEP backing us as a partner, OEP’s longstanding and deep industrial sector expertise will support EthosEnergy as we serve growing needs in a critical industry.”
