Calfee congratulates its clients, private equity firm New State Capital Partners and portfolio company Universal Plant Services (UPS), on the recent acquisition of Mechanical Solutions Inc. (MSI).
UPS is the industry's foremost specialists in rotating and reciprocating equipment services. Headquartered in Texas and with 14 locations across the U.S., UPS specializes in mission-critical services for downstream energy facilities, midstream pipeline stations, and other industrial sites.
MSI is an engineering firm focused on fluid machinery and turbomachinery systems. Headquartered in New Jersey, MSI tests, analyzes and solves complex vibration, dynamics, and performance problems in critical rotating machinery, including pumps, compressors, and related equipment. The combined UPS-MSI platform eliminated the traditional gap between engineering analysis and operational execution by integrating diagnostics with field execution capabilities.
