FMI Capital Advisors Announces Sale of the Brandt Companies to Southland Industries

M&A Transaction Expands Nationwide Footprint and Service Capabilities

FMI Capital Advisors is pleased to announce the sale of the Brandt Companies, LLC (Brandt) to Southland Industries, a mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) services firm. FMI Capital Advisors served as the exclusive financial advisor to Brandt for this transaction.

Brandt is the largest MEP contractor in the state of Texas. Headquartered in Dallas, with additional offices in Fort Worth, Houston, Waco, Austin and San Antonio, Brandt provides in-house services including build/design, construction and commissioning.

The acquisition brings together a team of more than 5,000 individuals across 35 states, with full-lifecycle expertise from engineering through fabrication and installation, to post-construction services including operations, maintenance and energy services.

"Both Brandt’s and Southland's futures have gotten brighter because of this acquisition," said Barry Moore, CEO of Brandt. "Our combined businesses will provide significant opportunities for our employees and together, we are well equipped to provide design-build and technical services to the largest, most sophisticated customers in the country. This is going to be a fantastic journey."

“We couldn’t have accomplished this without the team at FMI, who assisted in identifying a partner whose resources position us well for the future,” added Steve Hayes, President of Brandt. “FMI was a crucial player in this process, helping us formulate a strategic partnership that allows both companies to grow and leverage our best practices together.”
