About Strobes N’ More
Strobes N' More distributes, installs and services emergency vehicle equipment on behalf of the industry’s leading manufacturers to government and commercial customers. These include, but are not limited to, law enforcement, fire, EMS, utility/public works and other emergency vehicle aftermarket suppliers.
Prior to Fall 2023, the Company was owned by a local volunteer paramedic and former fire chief, who was seeking retirement and transferred ownership & management to an investment consortium sponsored by Yellowhammer Strategic Partners LLC (“YSP”), a long-term investment vehicle managed by Cole Carrera and Jack Eldridge. Upon closing the transaction, Cole & Jack assumed the roles of Co-CEO, and relocated to Rhode Island to operate the business full-time. Cole & Jack both have expertise in the broader industrials sector, with a focus on the distribution business model. YSP brings to bear ~15 years of collective work experience spanning F100 operations, mergers & acquisitions and corporate strategy along with a deep network of advisors.
The purchase of Strobes N’ More underscores a broader thesis surrounding the proliferation of commercial safety & security products in the US. These products, used primarily by volunteer & non-volunteer first responders, are mandated by law in the United States, and in turn are non-discretionary in nature.
