Harris Williams advised GeoStabilization International, a portfolio company of KKR, on their sale to Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. GSI is a leading provider of geohazard mitigation solutions and roadway safety services.

Businesses that provide essential services to the function and safety of infrastructure and communities remain incredibly attractive to investors. GSI combines those high-value, critical services with world-class leadership and organizational structure, creating a one-of-a-kind platform. LGP understands the unique nature of that combination and will be an excellent partner to GSI as they embark on their next chapter.

GSI’s integrated engineering and execution capabilities deliver best-in-class geotechnical solutions to private and public customers across geographies and end-markets. The company offers unique, end-to-end services that protect and secure critical infrastructure, allowing entire economies and communities to safely operate.

Under KKR’s ownership, GSI expanded their geographic reach while further building out their service suite and corporate infrastructure – all while investing significantly in GSI’s employees. In partnership with GSI’s leadership team, KKR helped position GSI as a leader for North American geohazard services.

LGP has extensive experience in the industrial and infrastructure services space and will be an excellent partner to GSI as the company continues their growth plans.

By acquiring GSI, LGP continues their long history of partnering with exceptional management teams and industry-leading businesses.
