Barton Creek Equity Partners (BCEP) has completed an investment in FlowBelow, a leading supplier of proprietary aerodynamic technologies for Class 8 trucks.
Since its founding in 2009, FlowBelow has grown to help customers improve fuel economy and operational efficiency while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. FlowBelow’s wheel covers, drive wheel fairings, and other innovative products improve aerodynamics and deliver fuel savings for trucking companies. BCEP’s investment alongside the founder/management team will facilitate growth of the business and provided for an exit by early-round investors, the companies say.
FlowBelow Founder and CEO Josh Butler says FlowBelow selected BCEP for a number of reasons.
“From a number of potential investment partners, we chose BCEP based on its track record of helping to facilitate growth of founder-run companies. We are excited to work with the partners at BCEP as we continue to build the business and introduce new products to the trucking industry.”
“The FlowBelow team has done a remarkable job designing, testing, optimizing, and commercializing a unique product that has been widely accepted by fleets and manufacturers. We are honored to have the opportunity to partner with them,” adds Michael Sayre, partner, BCEP.
Ron Duncan, BCEP partner, adds, “Josh and his team have done a great job thus far. FlowBelow is a special company, and we are excited to help the team through the next stage and beyond.”
