Greenwich, Connecticut, March 9, 2023 – The Silverfern Group, an investment management firm making direct investments in middle market private equity globally, today announced that it has completed the exit of its investment in APR Energy, following the sale of remaining shares received in the Company’s February 2020 acquisition by Atlas Corporation.
APR Energy is a global leader in specialized energy solutions. It is the second largest global provider of turnkey power generation solutions for temporary and standby/emergency use, and the largest global provider of turnkey turbine power generation.
