New York, July 29, 2024 – Churchill Asset Management (“Churchill” or the “Firm”) today announced that it served as Joint Lead Arranger and Administrative Agent for a senior secured credit facility to support the acquisition of Insulation Technology Group (“ITG” or the “Company”) by TJC, LP (“TJC”).

ITG is a leading global provider of electrical insulation solutions for the global utility market. The Company is a manufacturer of high and ultra-high voltage porcelain insulators for mission-critical applications within electrical substation, overhead transmission and distribution infrastructure. ITG was formed in 2021 through the combination of two market-leading brands (LAPP Insulators and PPC Insulators), which have longstanding operating histories of over 100 years. The Company has over 1,200 employees across manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Europe and Brazil.

“Already a global leader, ITG’s recent strategic transformations have positioned the Company for continued growth and increased market share, particularly as individuals seek sustainable solutions amidst aging infrastructure and growing power demand,” said Kevin Meyer, Managing Director and Head of Origination at Churchill. “TJC’s hands-on operating strategy will enable ITG to capitalize on the market’s favorable industry tailwinds and usher the Company into its next phase of growth.”

This financing marks the 25th transaction across Churchill’s platform completed in support of TJC, a New York-based middle market private equity firm with approximately $29.7 billion of assets under management and a robust 42-year track record.
