NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lindsay Goldberg, a leading private investment firm focused on partnering with families and founders, today announced it has completed the sale of its interest in Pike Corporation, a provider of services to the electric utility industry. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 1945, Pike Corporation is among the nation’s leading providers of turn-key infrastructure solutions, including construction and engineering for the electric grid, renewables and distributed energy resources, and telecommunications networks.

Eric Pike, Chairman of Pike. “From the very beginning, Lindsay Goldberg demonstrated a deep understanding of our values and vision, always treating us as true partners and helping us build upon Pike’s unique culture and industry leading capabilities.

We are immensely proud of what we accomplished with Lindsay Goldberg, and we are grateful for the trust, expertise, and partnership throughout this remarkable chapter in Pike’s story.”
