CLEVELAND, OH – November 24, 2021 – Ninth Street Capital Partners (NSCP) is pleased to announce that it has successfully sold its interests in Premium Inspection and Testing Group (Premium) to Acuren, an industry leader in nondestructive testing (NDT), inspection, engineering, and rope access integrated services.
Premium was formed in 2015 as a platform to execute on a buy-and-build strategy in the industrial non-destructive testing and inspection industry.
