Carr’s Hill Capital Partners Management announced the acquisition of Opti-Com Manufacturing Network and Sunbelt Innovative Plastics, which together operate as OMNI, a provider of conduit solutions serving underground and transportation infrastructure markets throughout the Southeastern United States and beyond. The transaction marks the third investment for Carr’s Hill Partners’ inaugural fund and expands the firm’s presence in the industrial and infrastructure sectors along the Gulf Coast.
Founded in 1985, OMNI designs and manufactures conduit systems for communications, transportation, utility and other industrial infrastructure applications. The company operates administrative offices in Elmwood, Louisiana, and a manufacturing facility in Slidell, Louisiana, where it produces proprietary Opti-Com and Micro-Com multi-duct conduit systems, single-duct HDPE and PVC conduit products, and related accessories.
OMNI’s flagship multi-duct products are designed to reduce installation costs, shorten deployment times and decrease the number of required access points compared with traditional single-duct alternatives. The company serves a diverse customer base across the Southeastern United States.
Following the acquisition, OMNI has invested in its leadership team, facilities, enterprise systems and commercial capabilities to support future growth while maintaining its longstanding emphasis on product quality and customer service.
Cameron Currie joined the company as chief executive officer in conjunction with the transaction. Longtime OMNI executives Bob Adams and Roger Wagg continue to oversee operations, while Bruce Mader and Giselle Becker remain in sales leadership roles to ensure continuity across the business.
Carr’s Hill Partners said the transaction aligns with its strategy of investing in family-owned and founder-led businesses operating in industrial and infrastructure markets throughout the Gulf Coast and Southern United States.
KEY QUOTES:
“We are excited to partner with the OMNI team to build on the Company’s long track record of success characterized by the consistent delivery of cutting-edge solutions to its customers. OMNI’s long-standing customer relationships, specialized product suite, and demonstrable growth potential make it an obvious fit for Carr’s Hill’s investment mandate.”
