Kian’s partnership, along with our buy-and-build strategy and success with adding these two companies, will continue to help us innovate and scale, creating opportunity for our team members, customers, vendors and communities. After working with and getting to know the Kian team over the past several years, we are confident that they will empower us with the additional resources and expertise we need to maximize our company’s potential.

With this additional investment, we are excited to build on our track record of success by adding density in existing markets and planting flags in new territories, as well as expand our scope of services for our customers. Additionally, SPATCO will continue to expand and support its customers in the buildout and maintenance of the nation’s EV infrastructure, which is absolutely essential as technology continues to propel innovation in the energy infrastructure and equipment services sector.

John Force, CEO of SPATCO

The addition of Blue1 to the SPATCO platform will allow us to deepen our presence in the DEF subsector and open doors to an additional customer base. DEF equipment and storage is a rapidly growing industry and is primed to take advantage of increased green initiatives and higher mileage requirements for diesel engines. This powerful combination of two leaders in the industry will position SPATCO as the ‘go-to’ provider of equipment and transportation solutions for the fleet fueling industry.

John Force, CEO of SPATCO

We’re thrilled to bring two industry powerhouses to the platform as we continue to ride this wave of momentum. With UST, we’re adding more regional firepower to our leadership teams in key geographies, while Hobby brings commercial electrical and EV infrastructure capabilities with automotive OEMs and various other customer-facing facilities. These tuck-ins support the platform’s strategy as we continue to expand into a full-suite solutions provider to our customers while growing market share for our key OEM partners.
