New State Capital Partners brings a proven track record in facility services investments, and their involvement is expected to drive both organic growth and strategic acquisitions for HFI. Shaun Vasavada, Senior Principal at New State, commented, “HFI is an established regional leader serving critical end markets, with a strong foundation for growth. We look forward to collaborating with the management team to drive continued success and accelerate growth in this sector.”
