Case Facilities Management Solutions has merged with Landscape Effects Property Management, a prominent provider of landscaping, snow and ice, and other exterior services to commercial customers across Canada. Terms were not disclosed.
The combined company is backed by The Halifax Group, a middle market private equity firm. Halifax had previously invested in Case FMS in December 2021.
Case FMS Founder and CEO Jason Case will continue as the CEO of the combined company and retains a significant ownership stake in the business. Paul St. Pierre, founder and CEO of LFX, has become a shareholder in the combined business and has joined its board of directors.
Case ranked No. 31 on Lawn & Landscape's Top 100 list in 2023 and pulled in $87.6 million in total revenue.
The Case and LFX operational leadership teams will continue to oversee day-to-day operations in the U.S. and Canada, respectively.
“We’re excited to integrate Case FMS’s proprietary technology with LFX’s platform and service model in Canada," Case says. "That combination promises substantial benefits for our existing and future customers on both sides of the border.”
The combined company will leverage its technology platform and managed vendor network alongside its field management team to offer snow management, commercial landscaping and other exterior facility services to over 21,000 sites across the U.S. and Canada.
“Together, we are confident that we can transform our industry through enhanced performance, communication, and technological upgrades, while expanding and improving our coverage and service lines to meet the evolving needs of our customers,” St. Pierre says. “We are grateful for the support of our partners and team members as we look forward to continuing to provide the exceptional service our customers have come to expect from both Case FMS and LFX.”
“We’re thrilled to continue to support Jason and the Case FMS and LFX teams as they execute on their strategic growth plans and believe this merger will be transformative for both companies, delivering enhanced value, superior services, and innovative solutions to the exterior property maintenance market,” says Davis Hostetter, principal at Halifax.
