Partner Story: Principle Health Systems Principle Health Systems (PHS) is a dynamic medical diagnostics company founded by James Dieter, Chris Light, and Brian Langen, which offers medical laboratory testing and imaging services primarily to skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities and home health providers. PHS is trusted by over 5,500 referring providers across Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, El Paso, Lubbock, Amarillo and the Rio Grande Valley area. Introduced to PHS by a CEO within the portfolio, Platform Partners teamed up with the founders as they sought recapitalization for partial liquidity and a strategic partner to support their growth. Since then, PHS has become the largest mobile laboratory provider in Texas and has expanded their product offering through an acquisition to include mobile imaging.

Platform Partners is pleased to announce its investment in Progressive Pipeline Management (PPM), a leading full-service, trenchless pipeline rehabilitation contractor that restores aging, damaged or leaking underground infrastructure, primarily natural gas utility distribution pipelines of all shapes and sizes. Founded in 2002, PPM has revolutionized the industry by pioneering cured-in-place (CIPL) technology, which allows for the rehabilitation of gas distribution pipelines with minimal surface disruption. Through their exclusive use of the starline© technology system in North, Central, and South America they are able to extend pipeline lifespans by 100 years while eliminating greenhouse gas emissions. PPM founder and CEO Dave Wickersham will continue to lead the company, expressing his enthusiasm for our partnership: "We are very excited about partnering with Platform. Their proven track record in the infrastructure space combined with their patient investment strategy makes them the perfect partner for our business as we continue to grow and excel over the next 20+ years." With a strong reputation for quality and safety, PPM is positioned for continued success in infrastructure restoration. We look forward to leveraging our partnership to drive future growth and innovation.
