RADNOR, PA & CHARLOTTE, NC — Brodie Generational Capital Partners, LLC has acquired Sur-Seal, LLC, snapping up a fast-growing advanced materials and engineered solutions company in a move aimed at building long-term value in a niche corner of U.S. manufacturing.
Sur-Seal will continue to operate under its existing name and leadership, with Chief Executive Pete Futia and his management team staying in place. That continuity is central to the deal, which pairs a specialized manufacturer with a family-office investor focused on steady, multi-year growth rather than quick exits.
Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, with additional operations in Cincinnati and Grand Rapids, Sur-Seal designs and manufactures highly customized components that solve performance and reliability problems across a wide range of industries. Its products address everything from sealing and vibration control to thermal management and radio-frequency and electromagnetic interference protection, making them critical to equipment that must operate in harsh or highly regulated environments.
“Sur-Seal is exactly the type of business we set out to find,” said Jacob Brodie, president and chief operating officer of BGCP. He said the firm was drawn to the company’s technical depth, manufacturing footprint, and reputation in the converting industry, adding that BGCP plans to invest in sales, technical service, and new market opportunities while keeping customer support front and center.
For Sur-Seal, the partnership provides fresh capital and a stable ownership base at a time when demand for engineered materials is rising alongside electrification, automation, and tighter performance standards across industrial markets.
“BGCP’s long-term approach and commitment to continuity align with our culture and the way we support our customers,” Futia said. “We’re energized by the opportunity to invest further in our capabilities and capacity while continuing to deliver the speed, quality, and engineering support our customers expect.”
The deal also closes a chapter for Heartwood Partners, which previously backed Sur-Seal and helped build out its management team and operational platform. BGCP said that groundwork leaves the company well positioned for its next phase of expansion.
William Blair advised Sur-Seal on the transaction, while Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom served as legal counsel and Ernst & Young as financial and tax adviser to BGCP. Financial terms were not disclosed, but the structure signals a classic private-capital bet on specialized manufacturing, where deep technical expertise and loyal customer relationships can produce durable growth.
