NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mill Point Capital LLC (“Mill Point”), a middle-market private equity firm focused on control investments in the Business Services, Industrials and IT Services sectors throughout North America, announced the formation of Voltaris Power LLC (“Voltaris”), an electrical power solutions platform created by acquiring two distinct entities - Pioneer Custom Electrical Products (“PCEP”) and Jefferson Electric (“Jefferson”). Including the two carve-outs that form Voltaris, Mill Point has completed 16 corporate divestitures, reflecting the firm’s expertise and experience in executing complex transactions.
Voltaris will focus on providing custom engineered solutions and electrical products such as low- and medium-voltage switchgear, transformers, unit substations and automatic transfer switches, catering to a diverse global market. The combined product expertise and sales platforms of both businesses should give Voltaris a strategic marketing advantage, enabling the company to offer its high-quality power solutions to an even wider network of global industrial and commercial users.
“We are thrilled to announce the creation of Voltaris through the merger of two distinct corporate carve-out transactions, both from parties with whom we have successfully transacted in the past,” said Mark Paolano, Partner at Mill Point. “Our partnership with experienced executives, including Justin Smith, Tom Klink and David Dolan, in our view will accelerate our transformation of Voltaris into a leading power solutions platform primed to capitalize on robust industry tailwinds.”
“We are excited to bring these businesses together as Voltaris as it positions us for significant growth in the electrical infrastructure market, especially in the rapidly growing electric vehicle charging, microgrid and data center segments. The leadership team of the combined business has deep industry expertise and experience that is expected to drive significant value for all stakeholders,” added Justin Smith, Mill Point Executive Partner and Executive Chairman of the Board of Voltaris.

“We are thrilled to combine our business with Jefferson as part of the Voltaris platform and continue expanding our product offerings to an even broader network of customers,” commented Nathan Mazurek, CEO of Pioneer Power Solutions and Board Member of Voltaris.

Voltaris Power LLC Acquires Jefferson Electric from ERMCO
Jefferson Electric is a trusted transformer manufacturer with a century-long reputation for producing reliable and efficient dry-type, low- and medium-voltage transformers for various applications and end markets including commercial, industrial, data centers, elevators and others. From 2019 to 2022, it was part of Spire Power Solutions, under the ownership of Mill Point, until its sale to Electric Research and Manufacturing Cooperative, Inc. (“ERMCO”). Jefferson’s deep industry roots and focus on quality make it a valuable addition to Voltaris.
“Jefferson Electric has been a cornerstone in the transformer industry for over 100 years, and as a part of Voltaris, it will continue to thrive,” said Tom Klink, Vice Chairman of the Board of Voltaris. “We look forward to building on its legacy.”
