The move will also bring significant operational and financial resources to Omniplex that will help it to better serve its customers, said Omniplex co-founder and CEO, Terri Wesselman.
“Omniplex is one of the strongest companies we’ve seen within the government services sector.

Julien Patterson, founder and chairman of Omniplex, felt satisfied that Altamont “showed an understanding of our unique business and unwavering commitment to maintaining our reputation for the highest quality service.”
This is Altamont Capital Partners’ second acquisition in the span of a month; near the end of December, the company acquired Cascade Windows, a leading Western U.S window manufacturer.
Bluestone Capital Partners served as financial advisor to Omniplex on the transaction.
