AIP has completed over 100 platform and add-on acquisitions and invests in corporate divestitures, management buyouts, recapitalizations, and going-private transactions of established businesses with revenues over $300 million. The Sponsor is currently investing out of its Fund VII, which has $3.2 Billion in committed capital.

RelaDyne was formed in 2010 by the combination of four well- established industry-leading companies and has since grown to more than 60 locations by strategically acquiring other industry leaders in the lubricant, fuel distribution, and industrial service segments.
