(Fraser, MI) RW Mead is pleased to announce the acquisition of Rene Vanassche & Sons Mechanical (“RVS”). Headquartered in Warren, Michigan in 1921, RVS provides a full range of mechanical contracting services throughout Southeastern Michigan.
RW Mead is an operating company within Mid-Am Building Solutions, LLC (“Mid-Am”), a sponsor-backed platform created by Craft Work Capital that makes strategic investments in union mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and other specialty contractors throughout the Midwest. RVS’ entire team of estimators, field leaders, and skilled trades technicians is joining RW Mead, bringing in-house small project, retrofit, and additional preventive maintenance service capabilities to the company.
“Teaming with RW Mead not only gives our team more opportunities to grow but also provides additional capabilities for our customers,” said Keith Brotherton. “By joining Mid-Am and RW Mead, Rene Vanassche & Sons will continue its longstanding, positive relationship with RW Mead and forge new partnerships within the Mid-Am family of operating companies.”
Paul Pelc, RW Mead President, added, “We’ve worked with Keith and the RVS team for nearly 20 years. We know their talents and their uncompromised focus on exceeding customer expectations. This is a great opportunity to expand the services RW Mead can provide to its existing and future customers.”
“Mid-Am is excited to add Rene Vanassche & Sons to RW Mead to our platform. Adding RVS to the team means Mid-Am can now offer expanded mechanical capabilities to a more diverse customer base. RVS and RW Mead have built a strong rapport over the years, and we’re eager to see how Mid-Am can support the combined teams’ growth,” said Rob Krueger, CEO of Mid-Am.
Both Rene Vanassche & Sons and RW Mead customers will continue to receive excellent service, and they will continue working with the same contacts they already use. Rene Vanassche & Sons will operate as part of RW Mead in the Fraser, MI, and Ann Arbor, MI offices.
