Littlejohn & Co. has agreed to sell Hiller, the Mobile, Alabama‑based fire and life safety services firm, to Wind Point Partners. The deal follows Littlejohn’s 2022 acquisition of Hiller, founded in 1919, and marks a strategic shift for the private‑equity firm toward portfolio optimization for investors and industry analysts today.

Founded in 1919, Hiller has long supplied fire suppression, alarm, and life‑safety solutions across the southeastern United States. Its acquisition by Littlejohn aimed to expand service offerings, but the recent sale to Wind Point Partners signals a consolidation trend as firms seek scale and operational synergies in a competitive market.

Santiago Perez, Hiller’s CEO, will oversee the transition, ensuring continuity for clients. Analysts expect the deal to unlock cost efficiencies and broaden Wind Point’s footprint in safety services. Investors should monitor post‑closing integration and potential cross‑sell opportunities that could drive future revenue growth in the coming months and market dynamics.
