Cerberus Capital Management to invest in S+S Industries, a data center infrastructure solutions provider

Cerberus Capital Management announced a strategic investment into S+S Industries, a Houston-based provider of critical solutions and value-added services for data center infrastructure. The transaction involves Cerberus-managed funds acquiring a material stake in S+S, with the Andrews family retaining a substantial ownership position and Greg Andrews continuing as president to lead growth initiatives. S+S specializes in manufacturing and distributing copper and aluminum busbars for high-power electrical applications, serving hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise data center operators across key hubs. The company offers value-added services including plating, coating, fabrication, kitting, finishing, and scrap recycling, positioning it to capitalize on the accelerating data center build-out. Expected to close in Q2 2026, the deal underscores Cerberus's focus on scaling industrial businesses aligned with electrification and infrastructure demand. Financial advisers included Lazard and J.P. Morgan for Cerberus, while legal counsel was provided by Davis Polk & Wardwell, with Houlihan Lokey arranging financing.
