Huron Capital, a Detroit-based private equity firm, announced its building automation and energy services platform, Albireo Energy, has acquired Edison-based EMS Technologies, a provider of building automation and network integration solutions.

“We are excited to join Albireo’s extensive energy solutions and building automations network,” Glen Smith, CEO of EMS, who will remain at the company after the deal, said. “Combining our advanced building automation services with Albireo’s comprehensive energy solutions and dedicated capital is expected to help us continue to serve our existing customers, and fuel new opportunities moving forward.”
