HFW Achieves Milestone with 10th Acquisition of Partner Firm

VSS Capital Partners, a seasoned lower middle market-focused private investment firm, recently celebrated a milestone with their portfolio company, The HFW Companies. HFW successfully completed its acquisition of Southwest Engineers, a Texas-based civil engineering firm, marking its tenth strategic partner firm acquisition. This acquisition will extend HFW's outreach within the architecture and engineering industry, allowing further expansion into high-growth, resilient specialty services. HFW maintains its distinctive 'house of brands' model, which enables acquired companies to sustain individual branding, while benefiting from collective resources such as HR management and cross-selling provided by HFW's comprehensive platform. Since VSS partnered with HFW in 2021, the company has scaled notably with 500+ employees and substantial revenue growth through organic and M&A activities. As beneficiaries of VSS’s flexible capital solutions, HFW aims to fortify its foothold in high-growth U.S. regions while maintaining a customer base across various sectors, solidifying its status as a preferred acquirer in a fragmented market.
