Situation

Dupré has long distinguished itself as an exceptionally well-run, family-owned enterprise led by its founder, Reggie Dupré, and a seasoned management team. In recent years, the Company has executed several strategic initiatives and achieved significant growth through organic efforts—fostering core customer relationships and winning new business—and through complementary acquisitions that broadened its reach into new markets and product categories.  The Dupré family sought a partner with expertise and vision to lead the business into the next phase of growth and uphold the culture that has defined the organization.

Engagement

G2 Capital Advisors, LLC (“G2”) was engaged as Dupré’s exclusive sell-side advisor to design and execute a strategy to identify a partner that would provide some liquidity to the Dupré family and further strengthen the organization moving forward. As part of the strategy development process, G2 identified and introduced to management a narrow list of potential partners before launching that shared Dupré’s culture, valued the operating model, and believed in the long-term growth objectives.  G2 led an efficient transaction process that validated interest, managed complex due diligence workstreams, and secured a timely closing.

Outcome

In April 2025, Dupré successfully closed a sale transaction with Stonepeak, a leading alternative investment firm specializing in infrastructure and real assets. Through this partnership, Dupré plans to leverage Stonepeak’s expertise and capital to build upon the unique foundation that has been established over the 45 years that Dupré has operated and accelerate growth initiatives. Chairman of the Board, Reggie Dupré, will remain involved with the Company as a Board member and looks forward to supporting the business transition into this next phase. 

“We are thrilled to have found Stonepeak and enter this new era alongside such a strong partner,” shared Reggie Dupré, Chairman of the Board. “Their proven track record, investment strategy, and alignment with our core values make them the perfect partner as Dupré continues to expand.  We are grateful for the support, guidance, and expertise that G2 provided.  They worked tirelessly with our team to ensure a smooth diligence process and ultimately a successful outcome for all involved.”

“We are proud and honored to have played a role in helping the Dupré family forge this partnership and achieve the result they deserve,” noted Chris Casteleyn, Head of Transportation & Logistics at G2. “Pairing Dupré’s reputation for quality and reliability with Stonepeak’s strategic resources is a formula for sustainable, long-term success.”
