Summary
ACG Insights, the publication of the Association for Corporate Growth, published a list of 100 notable platform acquisitions completed during the third quarter of 2026 by private equity firms represented within the ACG membership. The list was compiled by Private Equity Info from its proprietary data and is presented to illustrate member involvement in recently closed transactions.
The list identifies the acquiring firm, the portfolio company acquired, and the target's headquarters city, state or province where applicable. Several sponsors appear multiple times. H.I.G. Capital is the most frequently listed, with eight Q3 platform deals across the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Colorado, Florida and Louisiana, including Arco, Click Here Digital, Outcomes, Torque, Avove, Outward Hound, Rewind and Terras Group. Graham Partners, Genesis Park, Bluestone Investment Partners, Bregal Sagemount, Borgman Capital, Gridiron Capital, Ridgemont Equity Partners, Sheridan Capital Partners, Platinum Equity and Trinity Hunt Partners each account for two or three transactions on the list.
Targets span healthcare and life sciences (for example Aluris Sciences, Avanos Medical, Canadian Dental Labs, Carepoint Pharmacy and Nourish), industrial and automation businesses (such as Pioneer Power Group, Tangent Technologies, Craig Wire Products and Centroid), business and technology services (including EnergyCAP, Prochant, Quantive Intelligence and Pixel Health), and consumer and services businesses (such as Jiffy Lube, DecoPac, Podium Entertainment and Caring Transitions). Geographically, the activity is concentrated in the United States, with Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, Illinois and North Carolina well represented, while non-U.S. targets include firms in Ontario, Quebec, Ontario-based Rewind, Cologne, Madrid, Senningerberg, Bournemouth, Manchester, Leeds and Chorley.
The source does not disclose deal values, purchase prices or the holding periods for the listed transactions, and the list is not presented as a ranking. ACG Insights notes that the list is one of a recurring quarterly series, following a 50-deal list for Q2 2026 and a 50-deal list for Q4 2025, which provides a view of ACG-affiliated sponsor deployment across mid-market sectors.
