Ideal Tridon Group acquired by private equity firm
Ideal Tridon Group, a global provider of engineered clamps, brackets, fittings, and metal framing systems, has been acquired by Nautic Partners LLC, a middle-market private equity firm based in Providence, Rhode Island.
The companies say the acquisition signals a new phase of growth and innovation for Ideal Tridon as it transitions from the ownership of TruArc Partners, which has supported the company’s strategic transformation since 2017.
Founded over a century ago, Ideal Tridon has evolved from a global clamp manufacturer into a diversified supplier of engineered components that support, secure, and connect critical applications around the world. Today the company offers over 60,000 SKUs across clamps, brackets, strut metal framing, fittings, and couplings through a portfolio of brands, serving more than 20,000 customers across key markets including industrial, commercial, transportation, and infrastructure.
“Ideal Tridon has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years, expanding our product portfolio, global footprint, and operational capabilities,” said CEO Rick Stepien. “We are incredibly grateful to TruArc Partners for their strategic partnership, which enabled us to grow through targeted acquisitions and investments in people, technology, and systems.”
Nautic Partners, experienced in industrial and engineered product businesses, will support Ideal Tridon’s continued growth strategy, including geographic expansion, new product development, and additional M&A opportunities.
“We are thrilled to partner with Ideal Tridon, a business with a strong leadership team, an outstanding reputation, and clear growth potential,” said Chris Pierce, managing director. “We look forward to supporting the next chapter of their success.”
Ideal Tridon’s current leadership team will remain in place, and the company will continue to operate under its existing strategy.
“The values that define us – our dedication to quality, service, and innovation – remain unchanged,” added Stepien. “With Nautic’s support, we’re well positioned to accelerate our trajectory and continue delivering exceptional value to our customers.”
