Private Equity
Written By Rick Watson

Valley Lighting is a company that specializes in commercial lighting and shading, serving businesses and contractors in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Caymus Equity is a private equity firm that invests in profitable lower middle market companies with significant growth potential.

Caymus Equity Partners, an Atlanta-based private equity firm, has announced the acquisition of Valley Lighting, Maryland-based commercial lighting distributor for an undisclosed amount. The transaction was completed in partnership with the CEO and EVP of Valley Lighting, who both will maintain significant ownership stakes in the company. The company focuses on sectors such as healthcare, government, education and data centers and its business model is dependent on project-driven sales, supporting design-build and specified projects. This is not a distressed asset but rather a bet on growth in the Baltimore, D.C. and Northern Virginia markets.
