GTIS Partners has acquired Wilson Company for an undisclosed amount. The transaction brings the family-owned fluid power distributor, founded in 1965, under the ownership of the investment firm, marking a change in control for the long-standing business.
Wilson Company specializes in the distribution and custom engineering of fluid power products, including electro-hydraulic systems, electrical controls, custom manifold assemblies, filter carts, hydraulic power units, and pneumatic valve assemblies. The company describes itself as solutions-oriented, with a focus on technical expertise and customer service, serving applications ranging from simple to highly demanding. GTIS Partners, as the acquiring entity, adds this distributor to its portfolio of industrial businesses.
The acquisition is strategic for GTIS Partners, which gains access to Wilson Company’s established technical capabilities and its customer base in the fluid power sector. For Wilson Company, the deal provides new ownership resources while retaining its operational identity as a family-founded business. The combination is expected to support continued service to existing customers while potentially expanding the distributor’s reach through GTIS Partners’ broader industrial network.
No financial terms were disclosed, and no changes to Wilson Company’s day-to-day operations have been announced. The transaction is expected to close under standard conditions, with the company continuing to operate under its current name and leadership structure. The combined entity will focus on maintaining Wilson Company’s technical service standards while leveraging GTIS Partners’ backing for future growth opportunities.
