In a significant move to consolidate its position in the North American power management sector, Integrated Power Services (IPS) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire TechPro Power Group, Inc. The acquisition, announced on December 19, 2025, promises to create a formidable service network for critical power infrastructure.
A Strategic Leap for Power Management
John Zuleger, President and CEO of IPS, expressed enthusiasm about the deal, stating the acquisition represents a strategic leap for both companies. The combined entity will boast a workforce of over 2,200 highly skilled technicians and engineers. This expanded talent pool is designed to deepen technical expertise and geographic reach, accelerating growth in mission-critical sectors such as data centers, utilities, and a broad range of industrial facilities.
Expanding Capabilities and Market Reach
Founded in 2017, TechPro Power Group is not a single entity but a family of specialized companies, including Potomac Testing, Sentinel Power Services, and Electric Power Inc. These firms provide comprehensive electrical, instrumentation, and control testing, alongside start-up, commissioning, and equipment rental services. A key strength TechPro brings to IPS is a higher concentration of NETA-certified professionals, enhancing IPS's ability to deliver integrated solutions for complex power management needs.
Elliott Weinstein, Partner at Searchlight Capital Partners and Chairman of the IPS Board, highlighted that the acquisition accelerates IPS's vision to become a leading national platform. The goal is to offer a complete lifecycle of critical repair, field service, and replacement solutions for power delivery and consumption equipment within customer facilities.
Unified Vision for Reliability and Growth
Michael Kilpatrick, CEO of TechPro Power Group, framed the merger as a pivotal step. He emphasized the shared commitment to safety, reliability, and innovation between the two teams. By joining IPS, TechPro gains access to greater resources and scale, enabling it to broaden service offerings, reach new markets, and set higher standards for technical excellence. The combined organization will offer customers a wider geographic footprint and enhanced capabilities for managing the entire asset lifecycle of their power systems.
TechPro serves a diverse clientele across numerous end markets, including power generation, oil & gas, chemical processing, manufacturing, healthcare, and government. Its blue-chip customers rely on the company for code-compliant maintenance and commissioning support to minimize downtime and ensure operational safety.
Headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, IPS operates an extensive aftermarket service network across North America, the United Kingdom, and the Caribbean. With over 115 locations, the company is equipped to address complex power management and electromechanical reliability challenges. The acquisition of TechPro significantly strengthens this network, positioning the combined company to better meet the growing demand for reliable power management services.
