Commercial Contracting Platform Adds New Partner

ATLANTA — Grizzly MEP, a commercial mechanical, electrical, and plumbing platform focused on partnering with best-in-class founders and management teams, has partnered with Excel Mechanical Contractors, a full-service mechanical and electrical contractor headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland.
Founded in 2010, Excel offers HVAC, refrigeration, electrical, and industrial services, including repairs, maintenance, retrofits, and renovations. Excel serves a diverse set of customers across eight states in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic, including federal government agencies, healthcare providers, and major retailers. Excel is led by CEO James D. Bloom III, who acquired the company in 2019 and will continue to lead it.
“With a track-record of consistently delivering complex, high-profile projects, Excel Mechanical has established itself as a trusted industry leader in the Mid-Atlantic market — an attractive, fragmented region with significant growth potential,” said John Adams, CEO of Grizzly MEP, in a press release. “Our ethos at Grizzly is to accelerate growth without breaking the entrepreneurial spirit that drives a brand’s success. I look forward to working closely with the Excel Mechanical team to uphold their standard of excellence and unlock new opportunities together.”
“We’re thrilled to partner with John and the Grizzly team to further build out our service offerings and continue delivering reliable, high-quality service to our trusted blue-chip customer base,” said Bloom. “With Grizzly’s backing, we’re poised to supercharge growth, expand our reach to new end-markets, and continue building on our vision."
Grizzly’s partnership with Excel follows its previously announced partnership with Air Design Systems, a full-service mechanical and plumbing contractor headquartered in Pensacola, Florida, and Stiles Heating & Cooling, a provider of HVAC, building controls, and plumbing services in Georgia and South Carolina. Grizzly's continued success is supported by Garnett Station Partners, a New York-based principal investment firm that manages approximately $4 billion in assets.
