BALTIMORE, July 25, 2024 ~ Bengur Bryan, a well-known middle market investment banking firm, has recently announced their role as the exclusive financial advisor to AboveAir Technologies in its sale to AirX Climate Solutions. This acquisition was made possible through Gryphon Investors, a private equity firm with approximately $9 billion of assets under management.

AboveAir, a leading player in the specialty HVAC industry with a focus on the data center market, will now become a new division within ACS. This addition will further strengthen ACS's position as a leading independent platform for commercial and industrial HVAC solutions. The financial terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.

The acquisition of AboveAir by ACS will significantly expand their product offering into the data center market and solidify their position as a national full-service HVAC provider for specialty and mission-critical applications.
