Bevara and Blackfin Join Leo Network

PEWAUKEE, WI – As it works to fuel its next chapter of growth, Leo, a network of facilities maintenance service providers, has partnered with Bevara Building Services and Blackfin, providers of dedicated on-site building engineers.

Leo is building a national facility service business by partnering with exceptional companies and supplying the resources needed for growth.

Founded in 1996 in Pewaukee, WI, Bevara is committed to delivering high quality, cost-effective solutions for facilities nationwide. With a team of over 200 skilled engineers who are available to support customer needs 24/7, Bevara prides itself on providing unparalleled service.

Blackfin boasts a similar reputation for delivering complete customer satisfaction across decades of service. Since its founding in Kansas City, KS in 2006, Blackfin has grown from a local provider to a team of over 80 expert engineers that is dedicated to providing high quality, custom services to commercial and industrial property managers across the nation.

Through this investment with Leo, Bevara and Blackfin will be brought together to enhance both companies’ service offerings and capabilities. This partnership will enable Bevara and Blackfin to offer further growth opportunities for their teams and to expand their geographic service reach.

“The Leo team was very fair and equitable throughout the partnership process, always approaching discussions with consideration for all parties,” said Cory Pederson, president of Bevara. “Leo’s mentality of putting people first gave us confidence that we were building a partnership in alignment with Bevara’s culture. I’m very excited to be able to team up with a larger organization that expands our service capabilities for our existing clientele and to see how we can bring value to Leo’s current customers.”

“Our merger with Bevara and Leo offers clients the best of both worlds: a deeper bench of engineers for reliable local coverage across the U.S. and access to a much broader range of facility services,” said John Pauley, former owner of Blackfin.

“John and Cory have built outstanding organizations with strong cultures and deep technical credibility, and we’re excited to support them in their next chapter of growth,” said Cecil Moore, Leo CEO. “Welcoming nearly 300 field professionals from Bevara and Blackfin further accelerates Leo’s expansion in enterprise service capabilities and enables us to be an even better partner to our customers.”
