What Station Partners buys

Station Partners is a private equity firm in Morristown, New Jersey that takes control of profitable U.S. companies with up to $40 million of annual revenue. It has no set industry. Its current holdings include an IT managed services firm, a commercial landscaper, a FedEx Ground linehaul trucking operator, two healthcare providers, a B2B marketing agency and an outdoor recreation resort. Deals come as buyouts, recapitalizations or growth investments, and managers hold equity alongside Station.

The firm does not publish an EBITDA range or a check size. Most of its platforms grow through add-ons. Since mid-2025 Granite Hills Group has added landscapers in Virginia and North Carolina, and Arketi Group has added three communications firms. Ark Technology Consultants was set up to roll up IT service firms with recurring managed services revenue. A smaller company is most likely to meet Station as an add-on to one of these platforms.

Greymont’s take

How Station Partners fits a seller

Station suits the owner of a profitable company under $40 million of revenue who wants an involved buyer and a plan to grow through acquisitions. With no fixed sector, a company in an unusual niche can still get a look. Station also holds for a long time: COR Health dates to 2015 and Evolve Logistics to 2017, so any stake an owner rolls over could stay tied up for years.

Owners who want to stay have a good example. At Granite Hills Group the founder stayed as CEO for about five years after Station invested, then became executive chair, and the company says several owners it later bought are still involved. Ask Station what stake it expects to hold, since its First Children Services release gave none, and how long it plans to own the company.

Questions owners ask

Does Station Partners buy IT services companies?

Yes. It owns Ark Technology Consultants, a Garden City, New York managed services and IT consulting firm it bought in 2022 to roll up IT service firms with recurring revenue. Ark's most recent purchase was 5S Technologies of North Carolina in March 2024.

What size company does Station Partners look for?

Its site says profitable U.S. companies with annual revenue of up to $40 million, in any industry. It does not publish a minimum size, an EBITDA range or a check size.

Does Station Partners always take control?

Its site says control, and its press boilerplate says control and control-like positions. The September 2025 First Children Services release called that deal a strategic growth investment and gave no stake, while Station's own page lists it as a recapitalization.

Do owners stay on after a Station Partners deal?

Often, yes. At Granite Hills Group the founder stayed as CEO for about five years after Station invested in 2020 and then became executive chair. The company says several owners it later bought are still involved.
