Lion Business Advisors announced today that it successfully represented the seller in the confidential sale of a privately held business operating in the waterworks and municipal infrastructure sector.
AUSTIN, Texas, June 01, 2026 — Lion Business Advisors announced today that it successfully represented the seller in the confidential sale of a privately held business operating in the waterworks and municipal infrastructure sector.
The transaction was led by Kit Webster of Lion Business Advisors, who managed the sale process on behalf of the firm’s client. The buyer, seller, transaction value, and other financial terms were not disclosed.
The company serves a specialized segment of the infrastructure market, supporting the products, components, and supply chains needed by water, wastewater, utility, and public works systems. The transaction reflects continued buyer interest in privately held companies tied to essential infrastructure, where reliability, technical knowledge, and continuity of service remain important considerations for contractors, municipalities, utility operators, and other market participants.
“Confidentiality was a critical part of this process from the beginning,” said Kit Webster of Lion Business Advisors, who led the transaction. “Our role was to help the owner evaluate options, protect sensitive business information, and manage a disciplined process that led to a successful outcome. This transaction also reflects the continued importance of businesses that support waterworks, utility, and municipal infrastructure needs across growing regional markets.”
Lion Business Advisors works with business owners, entrepreneurs, private companies, strategic buyers, and investors on confidential business sale and M&A assignments. The firm advises clients through sell-side transactions, buyer outreach, valuation discussions, succession planning, strategic exits, and transaction management, with an emphasis on confidentiality, preparation, and practical guidance for privately held companies.
Across Texas and the surrounding region, population growth, aging infrastructure, public works investment, and water-system reliability continue to shape demand for companies serving municipal, utility, and infrastructure markets. While the parties to this transaction remain confidential, the sale highlights the role of private-sector operators, distributors, and suppliers in supporting essential infrastructure across regional communities.
The terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Lion Business Advisors will continue advising business owners and buyers pursuing confidential transactions in infrastructure, industrial, services, and other middle-market sectors.
