Albireo Energy Adds Two More Companies to Platform

Detroit, MI – July 19, 2016 – Huron Capital Partners LLC (“Huron Capital”) announced today that its portfolio company, Albireo Energy (“Albireo”), has added Advance Power Control (“APC”) and Energy Systems Technologies, Inc. (“EST”) to its platform.  This represents the sixth and seventh transactions for Albireo, an ExecFactor® initiative launched by Huron Capital and CEO Phil Bomrad.  The partnership is expected to bolster Albireo Energy’s geographic presence in the Mid-Atlantic region, while enhancing its capabilities in lighting controls, demand response, and building analytics.
