Soundcore Capital Partners, LLC, a controloriented, New York-based private equity firm that invests in lower middle market businesses, announced today that its portfolio company Sweeping Corporation of America, Inc. has completed the acquisition, in partnership with management, of Reilly Sweeping, Inc., marking the Firm’s largest investment to date.
Headquartered in Fairless Hills, PA, Reilly Sweeping has provided parking lot and street sweeping services to the Mid-Atlantic region for over 45 years. Offering consistent and exceptional service to its municipal, industrial and local customer base, paired with an extensive footprint that spans across Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Delaware, Virginia and New Jersey, Reilly has grown into the region’s largest sweeping provider.
SCA’s President and CEO Christopher Valerian stated, “Reilly Sweeping is one of the most respected companies in our industry. With a majority of its operations contiguous to our existing locations, Reilly solidifies our leading position in these markets and further expands our platform for additional growth opportunities. We are extremely pleased that Patrick, Sean and Michael Reilly will maintain important leadership roles within RSI, and we expect that the Company’s support and commitments to its employees, customers, and the communities it serves throughout two generations of family ownership will be further strengthened under our stewardship.”
“Once we identified family-owned and -operated Reilly Sweeping as the next acquisition for our Sweeping Corp. platform, we worked closely with the Reilly brothers and existing management to ensure a timely, seamless transition amongst the RSI team and its loyal customers. We are very excited to partner with the team, and to support their continued growth and success as we actively expand our SCA reach,” added Jarrett Turner, Soundcore’s Managing Partner.
“The addition of Reilly Sweeping brings a multi-state, best-in-class company into our platform and meshes with our buy and build strategy in the power sweeping space. I am very pleased with the progress we have made in acquiring great companies with proven leadership, and look forward to continuing to scale the business,” said Feliks Zarotsky, Managing Partner of Soundcore.
With the acquisition of Reilly Sweeping, Inc., SCA operates a fleet of 350 units through 21 locations, forming the largest self-performing power sweeping company in the United States.
Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP provided exclusive legal counsel for Soundcore. Fox Rothschild LLP and HighBank Advisors provided exclusive legal and financial advisory to Reilly. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
