Rimkus Raises Funding From HGGC

By Amit Chowdhry • Feb 26, 2024

Rimkus Consulting Group – a worldwide leader in engineering and technical consulting – recently announced that the firm has received a strategic growth investment from HGGC, a leading middle-market investment firm. And existing minority investor Century Equity Partners and the Rimkus management team will be rolling significant equity into the transaction. The financial details of the deal were not disclosed.

Rimkus offers engineering and technical consulting to global clients, including corporations, law firms, insurance carriers, third-party administrators, and government agencies. And the new partnership with HGGC will help Rimkus to broaden its service portfolio, better serve its clients, and further establish itself as the premier technical consulting firm.

Since 2020, Rimkus made 15 strategic acquisitions, growing its network to more than 1,500 employees and more than 110 offices globally. And following a strategic rebrand earlier last year, Rimkus has enhanced its existing practice areas to stay ahead of its global clients’ requirements and invested heavily in technology solutions and people which has enabled the company to remain a leader in the industries it serves.

J.P. Morgan acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Rimkus. And Baird advised Century Equity Partners, and Piper Sandler advised HGGC.
