Churchill’s Private Equity & Junior Capital team completes direct investment alongside Audax Private Equity in TPC Wire & Cable Corp.

Charlotte, NC, March 11, 2021 – Churchill Asset Management (“Churchill”) today announced a direct investment in TPC Wire & Cable Corp. (“TPC”) in support of Audax Private Equity’s (“Audax”) acquisition initiatives. TPC is a provider of premium, custom cable and connectivity solutions for high cost of failure applications serving various end-markets, including military/aerospace, utility/steel, and automotive. Headquartered in Macedonia, OH, TPC produces engineered solutions by creating specific products that lower customers’ total cost of ownership and minimize downtime in harsh environments.

“TPC is a market leader in specialty wire and cable solutions. Their unique position in a large and highly fragmented market has made them an acquirer of choice,” said Anne Philpott, Principal on Churchill’s private equity & junior capital team. “Audax has a strong track record of value creation through effective organic and inorganic growth strategies, and we are proud to support them on this next phase of international expansion.”

This represents the 15th transaction Churchill’s private equity & junior capital team has completed in support of Audax, a Boston-based PE firm focused on a Buy & Build investment strategy that transforms companies through accelerated organic growth and add-on acquisitions.
