Amerit Fleet Solutions Announces Close of Investment from Ridgemont Equity Partners and Element Fleet Management Corp.

Walnut Creek, CA – August 22, 2018 – Amerit Fleet Solutions (“Amerit”), a provider of fleet maintenance and repair services to fleets of all classes and sizes, announced today the close of a majority investment from Ridgemont Equity Partners, a middle market private equity firm, and a minority investment from Element Fleet Management Corp., a global fleet management company. Financial terms of the transaction, which closed in the first quarter of 2018, were not disclosed.

Amerit is a leading provider of outsourced fleet maintenance services for Class II – VIII vehicles and other critical equipment. With over 1,800 technicians providing services at more than 750 locations, Amerit is dedicated to maximizing uptime for fleet owners across North America.

“Ridgemont has significant experience investing in transport aftermarket businesses, most notably through investments in Dickinson Fleet Services, Aurora Parts & Accessories and FleetPride,” said Jack Purcell, Partner at Ridgemont. “National fleet owners and operators are increasingly looking for a better way to maintain their fleets. Amerit’s scale, footprint and flexible solutions provide a unique, customized and customer-centric approach that solves challenges while allowing fleets to rapidly capitalize on market opportunities.”

“Amerit has been a long-time partner of Element, providing leading mobile and onsite maintenance services for our fleet customers,” said Jim Halliday, President & CEO International of Element Fleet Management. “Element’s investment strengthens our partnership with Amerit and will benefit our customers through an expansion of Amerit’s service offering, increased flexibility and an extended geographic reach. We continue to collaborate closely with Amerit to improve our services.”

“Our partnership with Ridgemont and Element marks the beginning of a new era for Amerit,” said Dan Williams, CEO and Amein Punjani, COO of Amerit Fleet Solutions in a joint statement. “Ridgemont brings industry expertise and a track record of helping fastgrowing companies succeed.
