Harris Williams Advises IMIA Group Holdings on its Sale to The Carlyle Group and Stellex Capital Management

Harris Williams, a global investment bank specializing in M&A advisory services, announces it advised IMIA Group Holdings (IMIA), a portfolio company of J.F. Lehman & Company (JFLCO), on its sale to The Carlyle Group (NASDAQ: CG; Carlyle) and Stellex Capital Management (Stellex). IMIA is a leading provider of multi-disciplined marine services for the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and new construction of United States Navy (USN) vessels. The transaction was led by Doug Kinard and Elliot Cave of the Harris Williams Aerospace, Defense & Government Services (ADG) Group and Drew Spitzer, Matt White and Greg Waller of the firm’s Energy, Power & Infrastructure (EPI) Group.

“Under JFLCO’s ownership, IMIA successfully entered new markets, added complimentary capabilities, and completed highly accretive add-on acquisitions to become the go-to provider of outsourced services for naval MRO and new ship construction,” said Doug Kinard, a managing director at Harris Williams. “With Carlyle and Stellex, IMIA has two great partners for its next phase of growth, and we look forward to watching the continued success of the business in the years to come.”

“IMIA has established itself as a leader in outsourced maritime services, serving every ship and submarine type in the fleet across every geography in the continental U.S. and Hawaii. Long-term trends in outsourced maritime services, accelerated by continued U.S. investment in the expanding fleet, will translate into significant growth opportunities for the business over the next decade,” added Greg Waller, a director at Harris Williams.

“Leveraging the experience and expertise of the Harris Williams ADG Group and EPI Group was a critical component of this transaction,” said Drew Spitzer, a managing director at Harris Williams. “IMIA represents a great outcome for our Harris Williams team in two of our practice areas, and we are very appreciative of the opportunity to work alongside the teams at JFLCO and IMIA.”

Headquartered in Spanish Fort, Alabama, IMIA is the nation’s primary independent provider of comprehensive marine preservation, structural, scaffolding and environmental containment, and staffing services for the MRO and new construction of USN submarines, aircraft carriers, surface combatants and auxiliaries. IMIA addresses the USN's most complex MRO and new construction requirements with a workforce of over 1,500 employees deployed across USN and independent shipyards.
