VESTA Modular Acquires Assets of MSpace Holdings, LLC


BIRMINGHAM, Mich., Feb. 13, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VESTA Modular today announced that it received court approval to acquire substantially all assets of MSpace Holdings, LLC. The acquisition involves approximately 1,700 modular units throughout North America and solidifies VESTA’s position as the fastest growing modular building provider in the country. Former customers of MSpace should not see any interruption in services as VESTA brings strong financial support and a customer-focused approach to the business.  In addition, several former employees of MSpace will join the VESTA team to ensure a smooth transition for all customers.

VESTA completed this acquisition after negotiating a successful stalking-horse asset purchase agreement and then prevailing at the court-ordered auction. The transaction was funded and led by Soaring Pine Capital, a Simon Group Holdings (SGH) company, the private equity group that backed VESTA’s formation in 2014. 

“We are tremendously excited to see the rapid growth of our portfolio company, VESTA,” said SGH Founder and Chairman Sam Simon, who also chairs VESTA’s board of directors. “Our investment philosophy is simple: we find and back strong management teams regardless of the business sector. After meeting Dan McMurtrie (CEO) and Billy Hall (COO) we felt confident the team would deliver strong growth – we expect a lot more from them in the next few years.” Simon also founded national fuel logistics giant Atlas Oil Company, in 1985. 

With the MSpace acquisition, VESTA now manages approximately 2,000 modular units in North America and provides complete turnkey services for all aspects of modular space needs. Additionally, VESTA inherited hundreds of former MSpace customers. “We are very excited to welcome the former MSpace customers to our family and will do everything in our power to make that transition absolutely seamless,” said VESTA CEO Dan McMurtrie. “With the financial support of Simon Group Holdings, our customers are assured of a strong long-term partner in VESTA and we will reach out to each of them individually over the coming weeks,” said McMurtrie. 

Founded in 2014 by industry veterans, VESTA provides turnkey modular building solutions, both temporary and permanent, for sale or lease across North America.  With current VESTA locations in Michigan, Florida, New Jersey, and North Dakota, the MSpace acquisition bolsters the VESTA footprint further adding a larger fleet of temporary classrooms, offices, disaster response, hospitality, multi-family, specialty buildings, workforce and general housing solutions across the US.
