ArchStar Capital Completes Acquisition of Attic Breeze

ArchStar Capital is pleased to announce the successful acquisition of Attic Breeze, a leading manufacturer of high-quality solar-powered attic fans and accessories headquartered in Gatesville, Texas.

“HVAC systems are responsible for over 50% of homeowners’ electricity bills,” explained Peter Villhard, founding partner of ArchStar Capital. “Attic Breeze’s solar-powered attic fans eliminate excessive attic heat, thereby reducing heat transfer into the home and significantly lowering the peak electricity drawn by the air conditioning system.

 

“Attic Breeze solar-powered attic fans not only cut utility bills and reduce the overall load on the electricity grid; they also enhance homeowner comfort. As the market leader in this space, Attic Breeze’s potential for further innovation and product leadership is truly exciting.”


Established in 2006 by Travis Hipp, Attic Breeze is the country’s leading manufacturer of high quality, solar powered ventilation products and accessories designed to improve the energy efficiency of homes and businesses by continuously removing excessive attic heat and moisture.


“I founded Attic Breeze out of a personal need and a market gap. The decision to partner with a private equity firm like ArchStar, where half of its founding team are also founders and CEO’s, was a natural fit because they understand the challenges I’ve faced,” shared founder and CEO, Travis Hipp. “Joining ArchStar’s seasoned team will empower us to fortify our market position and accelerate our growth trajectory, benefiting both companies and our customers.”


The investment in Attic Breeze by ArchStar Capital continues a new era of collaboration, transformational growth, and long-term partnerships. By harnessing the collective expertise, resources, and networks of its founding team, ArchStar is committed to empowering management and driving Attic Breeze’s future expansion.


Graycliff Partners provided debt and equity to support the transaction. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
