Guardian Capital Partners Boosts Raptor Power Systems with New Investment

Guardian Capital Partners recently announced a major investment in Raptor Power Systems, marking a significant step for the power solutions company. This strategic move involves a majority recapitalization by Guardian, aided by EA Advisors and Raptor’s founding family, Peter and Evan El Koury. The collaboration aims to accelerate Raptor's growth to meet increasing demand for digital infrastructure solutions.

Established in 1992, Raptor Power Systems (www.raptorpwr.com) is known for its high-quality power distribution units and engineering expertise. With new production facilities in Champaign, Illinois, the company is well-positioned to enhance its capacity and service offerings in the data center and critical infrastructure markets.

Evan El Koury, CEO of Raptor, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “Guardian’s investment comes at exactly the right time for us. We have a great team, great products, and strong momentum with key customers driving historic change.” Meanwhile, founder Peter El Koury added, “I am tremendously proud of what Raptor has accomplished and even more enthusiastic to see it continue delivering on its strategic vision in this next chapter.”

EA Advisors' Alexis Stobbe highlighted Raptor's unique market position, saying, “Raptor’s mission-critical mindset, engineering depth, and ability to deliver power distribution products at scale—combined with truly differentiated, OEM-agnostic solutions—make it unique in the marketplace today.”

From Guardian’s perspective, Scott Evans noted, “Raptor is well-positioned to support accelerating data center growth. Increasing data volumes and AI compute requirements are driving demand for reliable, scalable power systems.” Damien Gresko of Guardian added, “Few thematic opportunities are as compelling as the intersection of data and power. We’re thrilled to partner with Evan, EAA, and the entire Raptor team to execute the Company’s dynamic growth plan.”

The legal aspects of the deal were managed by Goodwin Procter LLP for Guardian and Holland & Knight LLP for EA Advisors.
