American Securities is a private equity firm active in various industry sectors, including business services, consumer, healthcare, industrial and technology. Lindsay Goldberg is an investment advisor to private equity funds in various industry sectors. The Commission found the proposed transaction would not raise competition concerns because it has only limited impact on the market.
