"CEO Vinay Varma, President Aidan Tagliaferro, and the entire SFEG management team successfully scaled the business through organic growth and acquisitions while broadening SFEG's portfolio of branded specialty equipment solutions and we wish them continued success as they further expand under Enerpac Tool Group."

"The successful sale of SFEG represents Gladstone Investment's 31st realized exit from a management-supported buyout investment since inception," said David Dullum, Chief Executive Officer of Gladstone Investment. "This outcome reflects our strategy of partnering with management teams to build scalable lower middle market businesses while generating current income and long-term capital appreciation for shareholders."
