Firepower Capital Invests in TIG

Sudbury, Ontario – Nov 13th, 2019

The Installation Group (TIG) today announced that it has received a majority investment from private equity firm FirePower Equity Inc. Financial terms were not disclosed. As a trusted installation and service partner to Canadian satellite TV and internet subscribers for over 20 years, TIG’s service model was a great fit for a private equity partner. 

FirePower Equity, a division of FirePower Capital, is a Toronto-based Private Equity firm focused on the midmarket space.

“We are excited to have access to FirePower Equity’s depth of financial expertise and executive talent to help us to strategically plan and execute through our next growth phase. Having a partner who understands and supports our ambition and culture was also extremely important for us and our employees moving forward.”

TIG has built a compelling value proposition and an outstanding reputation for servicing their Solution Providers and customers alike. We look forward to partnering with and supporting Robert Lefebvre and the broader TIG team to capitalize on the Company’s significant growth opportunities to continue to build the premier satellite TV and internet access installation company and continue to provide best-in-class service for its customers across Canada.

“In a competitive industry that is constantly evolving, TIG has proven its ability to stay ahead of the curve by providing world class training to their Technicians and maintaining an agile approach to the ever changing technology needs of their partners as the market continues to evolve. We are very pleased for Robert and the team at TIG on their new partnership with FirePower which promises to strengthen our relationship even further.”

Year over year the company has seen growth amid a constantly changing product landscape. The dedicated team of professionals and longstanding partnerships have helped spur this growth and created lasting, mutually beneficial business relationships, while maintaining a family oriented corporate culture to delight and exceed both customers and employees expectations. Staying true to their core values of treating their customers, employees and partners with fairness, respect and integrity, while meeting and exceeding above-average health and safety standards is something that will continue to be central to the TIG story.

TIG will continue to operate in their location in Sudbury, ON, with Robert Lefebvre as CEO, and Anthony Lipschitz serving as TIG’s Chairman. With the ever-changing competitive landscape and rapidly evolving delivery on home internet access in particular, the new ownership structure will enable the company to continue to address areas in the provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Quebec. TIG will continue to strive to deliver exceptional service, value and expertise that their partners have come to expect, while remaining committed to exceptional team work.
