Phillips was founded by Dan Phillips in 2022 and provides fire and life safety services covering commercial facility alarms, sprinklers and extinguishers throughout the Houston area.
Joining Bluejack will give Phillips access to additional resources, capabilities and a larger group of fire and life safety professionals while preserving its focus on fire protection and customer service.
Bluejack provides testing, inspection, repair and installation services for fire protection and life safety systems.
The transaction expands Bluejack’s Greater Houston presence as the platform continues building scale in code-compliant fire protection services.
Agellus Capital was founded in 2024 and invests in non-discretionary essential services businesses across the United States and Canada.
The firm generally targets platforms generating between $2 million and $20 million of EBITDA in fragmented markets.
