Combined Company Creates a Leading Provider of Outsourced Facilities Services and Asset Management Solutions
Holland, OH and San Antonio, TX – – Total Fleet Solutions (“TFS”), a portfolio company of CI Capital Partners, and The Miner Corporation (“Miner”) announced that they have merged to form a leading provider of facilities services and asset management solutions for retail, distribution, manufacturing, health care and hospitality companies.
The combination of the companies creates the largest one-stop shop for on-site maintenance, on-call repair service, planned maintenance support and lifecycle management solutions for a broad range of assets including material handling equipment, mobile industrial equipment, doors, docks and waste management equipment. The combined company manages 20,000 pieces of material handling equipment and fields over 40,000 customer calls annually. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
