Blackstone acquires Madison Dearborn’s remaining AIR Control Concepts stake
Blackstone becomes AIR’s sole institutional investor after acquiring Madison Dearborn Partners’ remaining equity interest; terms were undisclosed.
Financing and company context
The signed and closed transaction follows Blackstone’s original July 2024 investment. Founder and CEO Brad Hobbs and his family also invest alongside Blackstone.
The announcement concerns a change in ownership, rather than a disclosed amount of new operating capital. AIR reported more than 38 operating companies and 1,900 associates, with further expansion and data-center opportunities among its priorities.
