As part of the transaction, Audax will retain a minority equity stake in FCH, continuing to partner with Blackstone and management to support the company.<\/p>\n<p>\nHeadquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, FCH\u2019s highly engineered, high-performance components are used by original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and hyperscalers for coolant distribution units (CDUs), in-row manifolds and secondary fluid networks (SFN). Liquid cooling is significantly more energy efficient than air cooling, allowing data centers to reduce CO2 emissions, improve power usage effectiveness, and support next generation of compute.<\/p>\n<p>\nBilal Khan, Senior Managing Director, and Mark Zhu, Managing Director, at Blackstone, said: \u201cWe believe that FCH has enormous tailwinds for continued growth as the latest generations of high-performance AI infrastructure increasingly rely on liquid cooling technology for significantly improved energy and chip efficiency. FCH has built deep trust with their customers for some of the most demanding workloads across both the data center and food, beverage, and pharmaceutical markets. We look forward to partnering with Scott and the entire FCH management team, as well as Audax, to invest in the company\u2019s capacity expansion plan, support unprecedented liquid cooling demand, and further accelerate growth behind one of Blackstone\u2019s highest-conviction investment themes \u2013 the immense buildout of AI infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe&#8217;re thrilled to partner with Blackstone as we enter our next chapter of growth,\u201d added Scott Kerns, Chief Executive Officer of FCH. \u201cOver the past four years, we&#8217;ve invested significantly to develop a leading position in the data center cooling market supporting our OEM customers and hyperscalers. Audax has been a tremendous partner supporting FCH through investments in the team, capital for new production and distribution facilities, and the execution of 10 acquisitions to build FCH\u2019s capabilities in the data center cooling, food, beverage and pharma markets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe believe the sale of FCH represents a tremendous outcome for the incredibly dedicated and talented team at FCH as well as our investors,\u201d added Audax Private Equity Partner Don Bramley. \u201cScott and the entire team have been outstanding partners in building FCH as a leader in the data center cooling market. We view the FCH investment as a text-book example of Audax\u2019s ability to build strategic assets through disciplined execution of the Audax Value Agenda<sup>TM<\/sup> and Buy &amp; Build approach. We look forward to partnering with Blackstone and continuing to support FCH in its next chapter of growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nTerms of the transaction were not disclosed. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter. Houlihan Lokey and Jefferies served as financial advisors to FCH, while Ropes &amp; Gray LLP served as legal counsel. William Blair, UBS, and Goldman Sachs served as financial advisors to Blackstone, while Kirkland &amp; Ellis LLP served as legal counsel.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Flow Control Holdings<br \/>\n<br \/><\/b>Flow Control Holdings specializes in providing highly engineered sanitary and high-purity flow components for critical applications within the data center, food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
