Green Heron Partners Expands with Bison Infrastructure Services

In a strategic move that bolsters its position in the market, Green Heron Partners has announced the establishment of Bison Infrastructure Services. This new entity is dedicated to delivering essential support services for those managing water, utility, and civil infrastructure projects. With a focus on operational excellence, Green Heron Partners is set to leverage its expertise and experience in private equity to propel Bison towards significant growth.

Acquisition of QP Services and Iron Woman Logistics

Bison Infrastructure Services has successfully completed the acquisition of two notable firms: QP Services and Iron Woman Logistics Services. These acquisitions will provide Bison with a robust foundation, enabling it to offer a comprehensive suite of services across critical infrastructure asset classes.

• - QP Services is renowned for its inspection, repair, and maintenance services specializing in critical water infrastructure. Their client base spans both public and private sectors across the Mountain West, making them a pivotal player in sustaining operational functionality in this essential sector.
• - Iron Woman Logistics Services excels in aggregates management and transportation services while also covering asphalt patching and material handling. Furthermore, the firm has established itself as a value-added provider of solid waste and recycling services, catering to a distinguished clientele in Colorado and Utah.

Both QP Services and Iron Woman Logistics were acquired from Iron Woman Partners, a distinguished provider of comprehensive civil and utility services, as well as environmental and mining solutions throughout the Mountain West region.

Leadership and Future Prospects

Leadership at Bison will be shared by Shaun Egan, the founder and CEO of Iron Woman, and Steve Burns, President of Iron Woman. Each will serve as Co-Executive Chairmen of Bison while maintaining a significant ownership stake in the new entity. This synergy in leadership sets a promising trajectory for Bison Infrastructure Services as both Egan and Burns bring invaluable experience and insights to the table.

Houston Johnson, the Managing Partner of Green Heron Partners, expressed his enthusiasm regarding this venture, stating, "QP Services and IW Logistics provide a great foundation for Bison as both businesses play a pivotal role in ensuring the operability of critical infrastructure across a number of asset classes. We feel fortunate to partner with Shaun Egan, Steve Burns, and a best-in-class management team and look forward to supporting them in the execution of our jointly identified growth and value creation initiatives."

Egan echoed this sentiment, commenting, "Our partnership with Green Heron is an excellent opportunity for us to continue focusing on our core products and services while enhancing the capabilities of QP Services and IW Logistics. With Green Heron's experience and expertise, we're confident we can enter new markets and expand our service lines through both organic growth and opportunistic acquisitions."
