Through unrelenting passion and focus on customer service and employee development, Unique experienced organic growth of more than 20%, Google ratings of at least 4.8, and a Net Promoter Score of 80. All owners remained as presidents of their respective companies, a hallmark of the Grove Mountain acquisition and management strategy.

“The Unique team has been outstanding, and we are incredibly appreciative of their efforts and accomplishments over the past two years,” said Ransom James, partner at Grove Mountain. 

“Since our initial investment in June 2021, the company completed nine add-on acquisitions and grew total revenue over six times,” said John Koch, chairman of Unique Indoor Comfort and partner at Grove Mountain. “It’s incredible what a group of people focused on the customer experience with outstanding cultures can achieve in such a short period.” 

“We are grateful for our partnership with Grove Mountain and are proud of what we have built and accomplished,” said Nate Kukla, CEO. “Now, we are excited to be part of the Ace team, which will allow us to leverage their combined financial and operational capabilities and expertise. Since day one, Unique has been passionately dedicated to an employee-centric, high-integrity, and customer-focused culture. Ace shares in our mission and values and brings a plethora of resources to allow us to continue and grow the business.”
