\nPennsylvania\u2019s Wyatt Elevator joins largest independent union elevator services company in the U.S.<\/i><\/p><\/a><\/a>

CANTON, Mass. & PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Specialized Elevator (\u201cSpecialized\u201d), a portfolio company of Berkshire Partners, and Wyatt Elevator (\u201cWyatt\u201d) today announced their merger, expanding the nation\u2019s largest independent, unionized elevator and escalator services company. The addition of Wyatt strengthens Specialized\u2019s existing operations in the greater Philadelphia area.<\/p>

\nWyatt, founded in 2012 by Dan Killion, Tom Killion, Billy Killion, and Bob Brumbach, has built a strong reputation for trusted service throughout Philadelphia. Tom and Dan Killion are stepping aside to pursue new endeavors, while Bob Brumbach will remain with the organization in a leadership role, partnering with Specialized to oversee Philadelphia operations.<\/p>

\n\u201cSince we opened our doors, our priority has always been delivering unmatched, reliable service to our local community,\u201d said Bob Brumbach. \u201cJoining the Specialized platform allows us to maintain our deeply rooted presence in Philadelphia while plugging into a powerhouse of national resources. Our clients will continue working with the same familiar faces, but we are now equipped with the operational backing to elevate our service standards to an entirely new level.\u201d<\/p>

\n\u201cBuilding this business alongside my family and partners has been an incredible journey,\u201d said Dan Killion. \u201cWhen we started thinking about the next chapter, we leaned heavily on Lift Business Advisors to find an organization that truly valued our people. Specialized stood out immediately because they share our core philosophy. We are stepping away with complete confidence, knowing our legacy in Pennsylvania and our dedicated mechanics are in the best possible hands.\u201d<\/p>

\nIn Philadelphia, Specialized serves customers primarily under the TEC brand \u2013 and now Wyatt Elevator as well \u2013 reflecting Specialized\u2019s strategy of preserving strong local brands within an integrated operating platform that provides customers a single, independent service provider with national reach.<\/p>

\n\u201cWe are dedicated to setting the national standard for elevator service and being the employer of choice for the best talent in the I.U.E.C. Wyatt has a great team, and we look forward to working with them,\u201d said Donovan McKeever, Chief Operating Officer of Specialized Elevator. \u201cHaving spent nearly three decades in the trade, I\u2019ve long admired Wyatt Elevator\u2019s work. Bringing the Wyatt team into our fold is a natural evolution of that shared commitment to quality.\u201d<\/p>

\nSpecialized Chief Executive Officer Jim Core added, \u201cWelcoming Wyatt into our family of brands represents a major milestone in our strategic growth. The Wyatt team has cultivated a phenomenal reputation for quality and trust throughout the greater Philadelphia area. By integrating their regional expertise with our robust national infrastructure, we are further solidifying our position as the premier elevator service provider in the country and ensuring our customers continue to receive the highest standard of care in the industry.\u201d<\/p>

\nTogether, the combined company will employ more than 500 members of the International Union of Elevator Constructors (\u201cIUEC\u201d) and service approximately 25,000 elevator and escalator units nationwide.<\/p>

\nLift Business Advisors, led by Jeff Eaton and Jessica Hellman, advised Wyatt on the transaction.<\/p>
