Agellus Capital announced today the acquisition of Houston-based Orcus Fire & Risk. Orcus Fire & Risk will be joining Bluejack Fire & Life Safety, also headquartered in Houston Texas, a national service provider of fire and life safety services.

Orcus Fire & Risk, founded by Marcelo D'Amico in 2008, is a fire and life safety design, engineering, audit, and consulting provider for critical energy and industrial facilities.

“Agellus’ track record with essential services businesses and Bluejack’s holistic fire & life safety platform presented a compelling opportunity for me to continue to grow Orcus,” explained Mr. D’Amico.

CEO of Bluejack Fire & Life Safety Phil McVey said, “The addition of Orcus is particularly exciting as it will allow our broader fire and life safety platform to expand its servicing capabilities to specialized, highly important facilities and customers.”

Agellus Capital Co-founder and Managing Partner Jeff Aiello remarked, “Marcelo has built a differentiated business focused on engineering, procurement, and construction management of the most complex fire protection systems for the most critical environments, and we are excited to add that core competency to the Bluejack platform.”

Squire Patton Boggs served as legal counsel to Agellus Capital.
