Private equity firm GHK Capital has acquired CPL, an architecture, engineering and consulting firm with over 500 employees across 25 offices in eight states. The deal marks GHK's entry into the professional services sector, expanding its portfolio beyond its traditional industrial and manufacturing investments.

The acquisition of CPL, which operates across the Northeast, mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions, positions GHK to capitalize on the growing demand for integrated design and engineering services. CPL's broad geographic footprint and multidisciplinary capabilities make it an attractive platform for further expansion in the architecture and engineering space.

This strategic move reflects the increasing consolidation in the architecture and engineering industry as private equity firms seek to build scalable platforms in fragmented markets. For CPL, the partnership with GHK provides capital and resources to accelerate growth and potentially pursue add-on acquisitions, strengthening its position in the competitive professional services landscape.
