Bertram Capital Acquires Motion & Control Enterprises from Frontenac
Private equity firm Bertram Capital has announced its investment in Motion & Control Enterprises (MCE), a leading distributor of engineered solutions for flow control, motion systems, and rotating equipment. The acquisition marks Bertram's seventh platform investment through its Fund V and follows MCE's growth from its origins as RitterTech under the ownership of Frontenac. MCE operates 50 locations across the United States, serving over 25,000 customers with a focus on maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) demand. The investment is intended to scale MCE's geographic reach and product offerings through both organic growth and further strategic acquisitions.
