CASE STUDY: Fahrenheit Negotiates Sale of Tribble Electric
On July 31, 2018, Steve Tribble completed the sale of Tribble Electric to a private investor. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Jonathan Brabrand, Managing Director at Fahrenheit Capital Partners, represented Tribble Electric in the sale.
Steve Tribble founded Tribble Electric in 1983 and as CEO led the company to become a premier full-service electrical contractor in the Richmond area. Operating from its headquarters on Richmond’s Northside, the company provides a full complement of commercial, multi-family, maintenance, low voltage, and residential services to a range of customers located throughout Central Virginia.
“We are convinced the transition would not have been as successful had it not been for their [Fahrenheit] dedication, persistent negotiating abilities, and most importantly, their compassion.”
“This transaction represents a very important milestone in Tribble Electric’s history,” Jonathan noted. “With this ownership transition, the Tribble family has secured the legacy of their company and has ensured that it will continue its history of success in perpetuity.” He added that it will remain business as usual at Tribble Electric going forward, as all employees (including Steve and wife Dody Tribble) will remain with the company and the new owner is committed to supporting Tribble Electric’s continued growth and expansion.
Steve and Dody were very pleased with the M&A transaction process and its outcome. “Jonathan Brabrand and the Fahrenheit team worked diligently from the initial evaluation to the completed acquisition of our company,” Steve said. “We are convinced the transition would not have been as successful had it not been for their dedication, persistent negotiating abilities, and most importantly, their compassion.”
