Lincoln Road and Peninsula Capital partner with Fire Equipment Company of Florida
Miami – August 11, 2020 – Lincoln Road Global Management, LLC (“Lincoln Road”), a private equity firm focused on lower middle market businesses, and Peninsula Capital Partners LLC. (“Peninsula”) today announced that through an affiliate they have partnered with Florida-based Fire Equipment Company of Florida, Inc., which is engaged in the business of selling, inspecting and servicing fire extinguishers and fire suppression systems. The Company joins the Republic Fire Protection, Inc., (“Republic”) platform.
This partnership is the fifth addition to the Republic family in the last 2 years, and highlights a period of strong growth and momentum for Lincoln Road. Republic previously announced partnerships with Gold Coast Fire Protection, Florida Fire Systems, Aegis Fire & Integrated Services, Pro-Tec Fire Protection and now Fire Equipment Company of Florida. Altogether, Republic now provides market leading regional coverage throughout Florida, Georgia and neighboring states. Republic is actively seeking to expand the platform with the goal of providing best-in-class fire safety services throughout the Southeast.
“We are proud of the success that we have had thus far in building the Republic platform,” said Jeff Magny, Founder and Managing Partner of Lincoln Road. “We look forward to continued expansion in the Southeast.”
Republic was formed to invest in fire safety companies throughout the U.S. with a current focus in the Southeast. Its model is differentiated in that it seeks to partner with owners of fire safety companies who want to create some liquidity but still enjoy running their businesses. The partner companies maintain their name, autonomy and their team. Partners/owners get the best of both worlds: a high level of independence in running their business and the benefits of being part of a larger organization and share in the additional value created.
