ADF Engineering Announces Strategic Growth Partnership with Heartland
ADF Engineering LLC (“ADF Engineering” or the “Company”), a multidisciplinary engineering and consulting firm serving clients across North America, announced a strategic partnership with Heartland Growth Partners (“Heartland”), a private investment firm backed by owner-operators of industrial companies. Baird Business Owner Solutions served as the exclusive financial advisor to ADF Engineering on the transaction.
Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Miamisburg, Ohio, ADF Engineering is recognized for fast project turnarounds and deep technical expertise. The Company has built long-standing relationships with Fortune 500 customers, major producers, and regional industrial operators nationwide. ADF Engineering’s success is driven by disciplined project management, a highly skilled multidisciplinary workforce, and the ability to deliver both stand‑alone engineering services and fully integrated turnkey solutions.
Heartland brings strategic capital and access to a network of industrial owner-operators who can provide practical operating perspective, strategic guidance, and new commercial opportunities. Heartland Growth Partners was formed out of Heartland Ventures, a $100 million venture capital firm built around a Midwest-based network of business owners and operators, and applies that relationship-driven approach to majority investments in industrial businesses.
