Herzig Engineering Acquires Canada Training Group in Cross-Border Deal
Kansas City-based Herzig Engineering expands into Canada with the acquisition of electrical safety training firm Canada Training Group.
Herzig Engineering, a Kansas City-based provider of electrical safety and reliability services, has acquired Canada Training Group (CTG), a Saskatchewan-headquartered firm recognized across Canada for its electrical safety training, electrical maintenance training, Arc Flash Studies, and Infrared Electrical Inspections. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The deal marks a meaningful cross-border expansion for Herzig Engineering, which is backed by private equity firm Copley Equity Partners.
