BOCA RATON, Fla., Feb. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- AE Industrial Partners, LP ("AEI"), a private equity firm specializing in aerospace, defense & government services, space, power & utility services, and specialty industrial markets, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell Enercon Services, Inc. ("ENERCON" or the "Company"), a multi-disciplinary engineering and environmental services firm, to funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. ("Oaktree"). AEI will retain a minority interest in ENERCON. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Acquired by AEI in February 2021 and founded in 1983, ENERCON provides engineering and environmental services to customers in the power generation, power delivery, and related markets, including nuclear, renewable and conventional power generation, transmission and distribution, distributed generation, battery storage, and EV infrastructure.
