Vigor sale to investment firm finalized, new CEO named Global investment firm The Car- lyle Group and private equity firm Stellex Capital Manage- ment announced Oct. 14 that they have closed on their acqui- sition of Vigor Industrial LLC and MHI Holdings LLC. They appointed Jim Marcotuli as CEO of the newly created company, which has been named Titan Ac- quisition Holdings. Frank Foti, Vigor’s founding CEO, stepped out of that role, but will remain an investor in the new parent company and serve as its vice chairman of the Board of Directors. Vigor builds and repairs ships and performs complex fabrica- tion projects for several indus- tries. The company employs 2,300 people and operates eight dry docks across the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. It has a large union workforce at the Portland Shipyard on Swan Is- land, with approximately 750 workers currently employed there. The shipyard’s workforce fluctuates, and can at times top 1,000 workers. Another 405 union workers are employed at Vigor Works (formerly Oregon Iron Works) at facilities in Clackamas, Oregon, and Van- couver, Wash. In Puget Sound, the union workforce is around 250 to 300 at Washington Marine Repair Seattle, Vigor Marine Seattle, and Vigor Shipyard Seattle. The shipyard workers are rep- resented by 10 unions affiliated with the Metal Trades Council of Portland and Vicinity, and the Puget Sound Metal Trades Council. They are in the middle of a contract that expires Nov. 30, 2021. MHI Holdings is a non-union ship repair and maintenance company in Norfolk, Virginia, and is owned by Stellex. It has about 800 employees. For the past 30 years, Marco- tuli has served in a number of ex- ecutive and operating roles with Carlyle portfolio companies and in industries spanning defense, aerospace, transportation, and automotive. Most recently he served as the interim chairman and CEO of Remington Outdoor Company and prior to that served as CEO of North Ameri- can Bus Industries (NABI). At press time, it was not clear whether the headquarters will re- main in Portland.
