PURIS acquires Amici Engineering to expand underground utility services
(UI) — PURIS has acquired Florida-based Amici Engineering Contractors, expanding its underground water and utility infrastructure platform with additional capabilities in pipeline construction, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and utility rehabilitation.
Founded in 2019, Amici operates from offices in Zephyrhills and Miami and specializes in the installation, repair and rehabilitation of potable water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure throughout Florida. PURIS CEO Mick Fegan said Amici's engineering-led approach and expertise in complex underground infrastructure projects complement the company's existing capabilities. "Their capabilities are a natural complement to our platform, expanding the breadth of solutions we will offer our collective customer bases," he said.
Amici co-founder Juan Barreneche said joining PURIS will allow the company to build on the business it has established while expanding its reach. "PURIS is the ideal partner for our next chapter, and its national reach and technological breadth will foster our continued growth," Barreneche said. He added that the company looks forward to continuing to deliver utility and infrastructure solutions tailored to customers' needs.
The acquisition marks the latest step in PURIS' growth strategy to expand its underground infrastructure platform through strategic acquisitions. Kevin Vallès, managing director at J.F. Lehman & Company, said Amici's "differentiated engineering and self-perform capabilities make it a compelling addition to PURIS" as the company continues to strengthen its water infrastructure business. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
