IMB Partners is a uniquely positioned private equity investment company that is committed to building large Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) certified companies that support the electric and gas utility sector in the United States.
The electric and gas utility sector is forecasted to spend hundreds of billions on maintenance and new infrastructure in response to updating outdated infrastructure and to increased demand from population growth.
Simultaneously, there is more awareness and interest from the gas and electric utility industry to do more business with MBE companies and companies that are good corporate citizens in their local markets.
