We are excited to partner with a company and team of this caliber,” said Steve Silver, Global Co-Head of Private Equity and Senior Managing Director at Centerbridge.

“We have enjoyed our partnership with Bain Capital, Pine Island and Compass and are grateful for their support over the past few years. We are excited to begin our next chapter of growth with Centerbridge.

“It has been a privilege to partner with Eric and his talented team in supporting the build-out of Precinmac into a fully integrated best-in-class platform,” said Matt Evans, a Partner at Bain Capital.
