Superior extends Exigent’s presence into the high-growth Columbus market

Huron Capital (��Huron”), a leading lower middle-market private equity firm, announced that its portfolio company, The Exigent Group (“Exigent,” or the “Company”), has acquired Superior Building Services (“Superior”).

Superior represents the eighth acquisition for Exigent since Huron’s initial platform acquisition in late 2022. Exigent was established through Huron’s ExecFactor® buy-and-build strategy, which focused on partnering with exceptional leadership teams to scale businesses providing mission-critical services in sectors where Huron brings deep expertise and a proven playbook.

Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, Superior is a mechanical contractor specializing in boiler, chiller, and HVAC service and retrofit solutions. The company serves a diverse set of end markets, including education, food and beverage, healthcare, and government, and has established a leading presence across the greater Columbus region. Superior is led by President Bill Detillion and Vice President Jason Abbott, both of whom will continue to lead local operations.

“We’re excited to join Exigent and leverage the platform to accelerate our growth both within our existing footprint and in adjacent markets,” said Bill Detillion, President of Superior.

“Bill, Jason, and the Superior team have built a strong reputation for customer service, quality, and reliable execution, all of which are core values to Exigent,” stated Peter van Niekerk, CEO of Exigent. "We look forward to extending our presence in Ohio, particularly in the high-growth Columbus market, where well-funded school districts, state agencies, and large facility customers are driving sustained demand for mechanical services.”
