2025. Action Elevator (“Action”), a premier independent elevator services company in the Mid-Atlantic, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Elevator Technologies, Inc. (“ETI”), a leading provider of elevator services in the Greater Washington D.C. market. ETI had been operating since 2007 led by founders Chris Myles, Rob Bergen and Mike Coates, with Walt Church joining the ownership group in 2017. All four owners will continue their careers with Action Elevator to ensure a seamless transition for customers and employees.

Maven Group served as financial advisor to ETI. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

John Marshall Sr., CEO of Action Elevator, remarked, “Our partnership with H.I.G. Capital continues to propel our company’s expansion in the Mid-Atlantic market. I am beyond excited about joining forces with the ETI team, who have built a remarkable business and reputation across the region. After observing their growing success over time, we could not be happier to now welcome them and their entire field and office staff to our elevator family. Action and ETI share the same values and goals, and we are honored to serve ETI’s customer base by continuing their focus on employee well-being, attention to detail, and transparency to all stakeholders.”

ETI’s President Chris Myles and Secretary Walt Church led the transaction for ETI and commented: “When we launched ETI almost two decades ago, we never dreamt of growing into the company we have now become. Like most family-oriented businesses, our success was driven by the hard work of our outstanding team in the field and in the office. We now look forward to our partnership with Action Elevator and their tremendous group of people. Our joined efforts will not only benefit our customers on the service side but also help us further improve our performance on
complex modernization and construction projects for our demanding high-end customers.”

Chris Myles added: “We have relied on Maven Group’s guidance and advice for almost nine years during our growth and expansion. Ultimately, Maven Group’s vast industry network enabled us to meet many potential partners and allowed us to find the perfect match in Action. Maven masterfully coordinated all diligence streams as well as the purchase agreement negotiations, while always balancing our big picture goals with all the small yet important details encountered in a transaction of this size and complexity. We are truly grateful for their friendship, support and unmatched expertise throughout all these years.”
