Foundral is a growing family of leading mechanical contracting companies, uniting trusted teams across HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection to build the essential infrastructure of tomorrow.
The engine that drives us
True tradespeople dedicated to our craft, we deliver modern solutions proven to perform. It’s this commitment to quality craftsmanship that ensures a future where those who build and connect our world are recognized, valued, and supported for their impact.
We’re not just building infrastructure, we’re building momentum toward a better world.
The foundation we’re built on
We’re born from the workers and entrepreneurs who built the Midwest. It’s those Midwestern values, passed down from generation to generation, that guide us and keep us connected.
Craftsmanship is our currency. We do it right, or we don’t do it at all.
We share ideas, invest in people, and scale what works.
We earn it job by job, person by person, keeping it through our actions.
Solving hard problems in hard environments makes us different.

Foundral is pursuing acquisitions of leading mechanical contracting companies
We’re looking for mechanical contractors focused on building security and stability not only for the job at hand — but the world at large.
We help you elevate your business at every stage, fostering a future where you can focus on what you do best while we handle back-office functions such as HR, IT, and fleet management.
We provide access to financial capital and resources, building a strong foundation for your business.
We encourage a culture of collaboration, optimizing best practices, technologies, and purchasing power.
We offer financial security and liquidity for founders and management teams.
We carry tradition forward, ensuring your company’s values continue to thrive.
We prepare a clear and stable path for the future, securing your business and its employees.
Your employees are the backbone of your success, and therefore, a core part of our focus. Our approach to acquisition emphasizes respect for your teams and their contributions.
We ensure a smooth transition while offering new opportunities for career growth, fostering a collaborative environment with ongoing training and development.
We’re looking for partners who lead by example, elevating the standards set before them as well as those who stand beside them. This means your company reliably:
Of over $10M in annual revenue in markets surrounding our existing locations in Cleveland, OH or Charleston, WV, or over $25M for new market entry.
With emphasis on complex installations and recurring service work
That demonstrates accountability and excellence
Most importantly, we seek founders and management teams who want to remain invested and involved as we build together.
Partnership discussions are handled with complete confidentiality and respect. We start with a no-obligation conversation, follow with a fair valuation of your business, and ensure seamless integration with minimal disruption, always honoring the company and people you’ve built.
Unlock growth while preserving the legacy you’ve worked hard to create today.
