Ardian has agreed to sell its majority stake in Acousti Engineering to Gamut Capital Management, marking the exit of its North America Fund II investment.

The transaction follows a period of operational transformation under Ardian’s ownership, during which Acousti evolved from a family-owned business into a scaled specialty interiors contractor.

Ardian worked alongside management to reposition the business towards higher-margin projects, strengthen leadership, and implement new systems and technologies, including an AI-driven bidding process.

“With Ardian’s valuable support, Acousti has transformed from a family-owned business into one of the largest and most sophisticated interior finishes contractors, operating in more than 15 metropolitan areas and across a diverse set of end markets,” said Jason Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of Acousti.

The company now operates across more than 15 metropolitan areas, serving institutional and commercial markets with ceiling, drywall, and flooring solutions.

Ardian highlighted the value creation achieved over its ownership period, despite a challenging exit environment.

“We are pleased by the significant value we have generated over the past five and a half years, and are delighted to be returning capital to our investors,” said Kevin Kruse, Managing Director, North America Fund, Ardian.
