Since its founding in 1997, Allied has become the leading independent provider of reliability and maintenance services, offering a full suite of solutions for clients across their facilities, including condition based monitoring, reliability and operational consulting, training, staffing and integrated software solutions.

“Allied has a unique value proposition and is well positioned in the growing condition based monitoring and asset reliability market,” said John Underwood, Senior Managing Director at Pfingsten. “The Allied management team built a great business and we are excited to partner with them to assist with further growth.”

“The future is bright for Allied,” said Allied Partner and Co-Founder, John Schultz, “with Pfingsten’s operational expertise, global capabilities and financial support we will have the resources to embark on our next stage of growth by investing in a broader service offering and expanding our reach internationally.”
