Integrated Power Services Enters Agreement to Acquire TechPro Power Group, Strengthening National Power Management Platform
Integrated Power Services (“IPS”), a leading provider of power management, electromechanical, and critical infrastructure services, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire TechPro Power Group, Inc. (“TechPro”), a specialized provider of power system testing, commissioning, and lifecycle services. The acquisition marks a significant strategic milestone for IPS, reinforcing its position as a premier national platform supporting mission-critical power infrastructure across a wide range of industries.
The transaction brings together two organizations with complementary strengths, deep technical expertise, and a shared commitment to safety, reliability, and operational excellence. By combining their capabilities, IPS and TechPro aim to deliver an expanded suite of integrated solutions designed to address the growing complexity and rising demand for reliable power systems across North America.
Accelerating Growth in Mission-Critical Sectors
John Zuleger, President and Chief Executive Officer of IPS, emphasized the strategic importance of the acquisition and the value it brings to customers and employees alike.
“We are thrilled to welcome TechPro and its exceptionally talented team to IPS,” Zuleger said. “TechPro represents a strategic leap forward for both of our organizations. With our combined workforce of approximately 2,200 highly skilled technicians and engineers, we are significantly enhancing our technical depth, geographic reach, and ability to serve customers operating in mission-critical environments.”
Zuleger noted that the combined organization is particularly well positioned to support sectors experiencing rapid growth and increasing power reliability requirements, including data centers, utilities, and a wide range of industrial facilities. As electrification, digitalization, and infrastructure modernization accelerate, customers are placing greater emphasis on resilient power systems that can operate safely, efficiently, and without interruption.
TechPro’s Specialized Expertise and Service Portfolio
Founded in 2017, TechPro Power Group has built a strong reputation as a family of specialized companies focused on the full asset lifecycle of power management systems. Its operating companies include Potomac Testing, Sentinel Power Services, Sentinel-TDS, TDS Equipment, and Electric Power Inc. Together, these businesses provide a comprehensive suite of services encompassing testing, commissioning, maintenance, equipment support, and compliance services for complex electrical power systems.
TechPro’s workforce includes a high concentration of NETA-certified technicians, a key differentiator in the power services market. This specialized expertise enables TechPro to deliver code-compliant testing and commissioning services that help customers minimize downtime, reduce operational risk, and ensure the safety of personnel and assets.
The addition of TechPro significantly expands IPS’ ability to deliver integrated solutions for customers with complex power management and electromechanical service needs, particularly as overall electricity demand continues to rise and systems become more interconnected and sophisticated.
Building a Complete Lifecycle Power Services Platform
Elliott Weinstein, Partner at Searchlight Capital Partners and Chairman of the Board of Directors for IPS, highlighted how the acquisition aligns with IPS’ long-term strategic vision.
“Acquiring TechPro accelerates IPS’ vision to become the leading national platform offering a complete lifecycle of critical repair, field service, and replacement solutions,” Weinstein said. “This applies to the equipment that both delivers and consumes power within our customers’ facilities. TechPro’s capabilities meaningfully strengthen our ability to serve customers at every stage of the asset lifecycle.”
By integrating TechPro’s testing, commissioning, and compliance expertise with IPS’ established strengths in service, repair, and replacement, the combined organization is positioned to offer customers a seamless, end-to-end approach to managing their power infrastructure.
Serving a Broad and Diverse Customer Base
TechPro serves a wide range of end markets, including data centers, utilities, power generation, oil and gas, chemical processing, manufacturing, healthcare, commercial real estate, education, and government facilities. Many of its customers are blue-chip organizations that depend on uninterrupted power and strict regulatory compliance to support their operations.
Across these sectors, customers face increasing pressure to ensure safety, meet evolving codes and standards, and maintain uptime in environments where even brief outages can result in significant financial or operational consequences. TechPro’s trusted expertise in testing, maintenance, and commissioning has made it a critical partner for organizations seeking to manage these challenges effectively.
The acquisition allows IPS to extend these trusted services to a broader geographic footprint while enhancing its ability to serve customers with complex, multi-site power infrastructure requirements.
A Pivotal Step for TechPro and Its Team
Michael Kilpatrick, Chief Executive Officer of TechPro Power Group, described the transaction as a transformative opportunity for TechPro’s employees and customers.
“Joining IPS is a pivotal step for TechPro,” Kilpatrick said. “Our teams share a deep commitment to safety, reliability, and innovation. With IPS’ resources, scale, and national platform, we will be able to broaden our service offerings, reach new markets, and set new standards for technical excellence and customer support.”
Kilpatrick emphasized that the combined organization will deliver tangible benefits for customers, including access to a wider range of specialized expertise, an expanded geographic presence, and enhanced capabilities for managing the full lifecycle of power systems.
“Together, we will help customers minimize downtime, ensure compliance, and drive operational reliability in some of the most demanding environments,” he added. “We are also committed to continuing industry-leading training programs that invest in and develop the best technical workforce in the power services industry.”
Positioned for the Future of Power Infrastructure
The acquisition comes at a time when power infrastructure is undergoing rapid transformation. Growth in data centers, renewable energy integration, electrification of industrial processes, and increasing regulatory scrutiny are driving demand for advanced power management services. Customers are seeking partners that can provide not only reactive maintenance, but proactive lifecycle solutions that improve reliability, safety, and long-term performance.
By bringing together IPS’ national scale and service capabilities with TechPro’s specialized testing and commissioning expertise, the combined organization is well positioned to meet these evolving needs. The transaction underscores IPS’ commitment to strategic growth, operational excellence, and delivering value to customers across critical industries.
Upon completion of the acquisition, TechPro will be integrated into the IPS platform, with a continued focus on maintaining strong customer relationships, investing in employee development, and delivering high-quality, safety-driven power management solutions nationwide.
