Integrated Power Services (IPS) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire TechPro Power Group, Inc., in a move IPS says will strengthen its position in power management services and expand its lifecycle support capabilities for mission-critical equipment. The announcement was issued on 19 December 2025, with financial terms not disclosed in the company release.
IPS President and CEO John Zuleger said: “We are thrilled to welcome TechPro and its exceptionally talented team to IPS. TechPro represents a strategic leap for both of our companies. With our combined 2,200 highly skilled technicians and engineers, we will bring an even deeper level of technical expertise and geographic presence, while accelerating our growth in mission-critical sectors including data centers, utilities, and a broad base of industrial facilities.”
TechPro, founded in 2017, is described as a family of specialised businesses including Potomac Testing, Sentinel Power Services, Sentinel-TDS, TDS Equipment, and Electric Power Inc., focused on services across the asset lifecycle of power management systems. IPS said TechPro’s workforce includes a higher concentration of NETA-certified professionals, expanding IPS’ ability to commission, maintain, and repair complex power systems where compliance and uptime are non-negotiable.
The rationale is the same one driving a lot of industrial services consolidation right now: electricity demand is rising, grid constraints are biting, and customers are spending heavily to protect uptime in data centres, utilities, and industrial plants. In parallel, the aftermarket for electromechanical and power equipment remains fragmented, leaving room for national platforms to hoover up specialist capability and sell “one throat to choke” lifecycle support.
Elliott Weinstein, Partner at Searchlight Capital Partners and Chairman of IPS’ Board, said: “Acquiring TechPro accelerates IPS’ vision to be a leading national platform offering a complete lifecycle of critical repair, field service, and replacement solutions for the equipment that both delivers and consumes power in our customers’ facilities.”
External reporting has put a price on the transaction: The Wall Street Journal reported the deal at roughly $350 million, describing it as the largest among IPS’s acquisition programme since Searchlight took ownership in 2021.
TechPro CEO Michael Kilpatrick said: “Joining IPS is a pivotal step for TechPro… With IPS’ resources and scale, we can broaden our service offerings, reach new markets, and set new standards for technical excellence and customer support.”
