STARC Systems, a manufacturer of reusable temporary modular wall containment solutions for occupied renovations, has been purchased by Illinois-based private equity firm, North Branch Capital. The acquisition marks a significant investment to continue fueling STARC’s innovation and market expansion serving contractors and facility managers across multiple industries.

“We invest in middle market industrial businesses with strong growth prospects and leadership teams,” said Brian Gleason, Operating Partner at North Branch Capital. “STARC is well-positioned to continue its growth in this emerging category. Since its founding, the organization has developed a keen focus on innovation, providing an excellent value proposition to its customer base, and building a world-class culture.”

STARC will further expand, offering jobsite containment solutions for data centers, airports, life science labs and more. Its product lineup includes its flagship product, RealWall, the first reusable temporary containment system with noise-reducing properties that exceeded ICRA Class IV and V requirements. LiteBarrier is a durable dust barrier in the lightweight category. And FireblockWall is the latest, and the first reusable one-hour fire rated temporary containment system. Common among the entire line is a thoughtfully designed, versatile modular system that saves project set-up time, reduces dust and noise around a renovation and meets all safety requirements. STARC’s product durability also helps to minimize the carbon footprint of a project while adding economic value to its customers.
