Your legacy deserves the right partner
Stack Holdings is a permanent home for utility service companies. We partner with founders who've built profitable businesses and are ready for what comes next—whether that's retirement, new ventures, or staying on to grow what you've created.
The Utility
Services
Opportunity
The grid is changing. Electricity demand is growing for the first time in 20 years. Data centers, electric vehicles, and distributed generation are straining infrastructure built in the 1960s and 70s.
This problem isn't going away—it will take decades to build our way out. That means sustained demand for the specialized services that keep the grid running.
We're focused on the companies providing those critical services: vegetation management, subsurface engineering, substation maintenance, and specialized testing. These aren't glamorous businesses, but they're fundamental. They literally keep the lights on.
What We Look For
We partner with utility service companies that are:
Profitable and growing: Revenue between $4-15M with consistent margins over 10%
Built on recurring revenue: Long-term contracts with utilities or municipalities
Founder-owned: We work directly with owners, not financial intermediaries
Positioned for growth: Strong local reputation with room to expand
Why Stack
Is Different
Unlike traditional buyers, we're not quickly flipping companies or replacing leadership. We're building for the long term, one trusted partnership at a time.
We're native to the utility industry.
For 25 years, we've lived and breathed this sector. We understand utility procurement cycles, the complexities of service provision, and what it takes to earn and keep utility customers. This isn't a sector we're learning—it's the industry we've spent our careers building.
Buy and hold. Forever.
We don't have a five-year exit plan. We're building a holding company designed to last, which means your business gets the stability and resources to grow without the pressure of a quick sale.
You stay in charge.
We're not here to take over. The best operators are already running your business—you and your team. Our job is to support your growth, share what we've learned, and help you scale on your terms.
Let's Connect
Whether you're actively exploring a sale or just starting to think about your options, we'd welcome a conversation.

That's okay. Many founders aren't ready to sell today but want to stay in touch for the future. We're always happy to build relationships early.
