TAG acquired CT Control Temperature Ltd. and IHM Mechanical Ltd. located in Vancouver, BC, and CTR Refrigeration & Food Store Equipment Ltd. serving the Calgary and Edmonton markets.  “The addition of CT, IHM and CTR substantially advances The Arcticom Group as an elite specialty mechanical services company by bringing together market leaders in Western Canada with TAG’s existing and loyal customer base throughout the western and southern United States. These substantial additions give us access to the growing Canadian market with full design construction capabilities and a reputation for providing exceptional customer experiences in all aspects of commercial HVACR installation and service” said Jim Pape, TAG’s CEO.

Backcast Managing Partner Ed Cerny said of the investment, “Backcast supported TAG in its inaugural acquisition of two leading HVACR service providers in southern California in late 2017.  Since that time, we have continued to provide capital to support the company’s growth strategy.  As a result of these acquisitions, TAG has become a dominant HVACR industry leader in all of its core markets and we are proud to have played our part in helping the company achieve this coveted position over the past 3+ years”.   

CEO Jim Pape said “At every step of the way, the team at Backcast has delivered not only the required financial capital to execute our acquisition strategy, but also insightful and meaningful human capital provided by the Backcast Operating Partner network.  We appreciate the people and approach that Backcast brings to the table.”
