Janus International Group Inc., a building services company backed by Clearlake Capital Group LP, has closed its business combination with Juniper, a publicly-listed special purpose acquisition company from Juniper Industrial Holdings, Inc. Janus, a global manufacturer and supplier of access control technologies for the self-storage and other commercial and industrial sectors, will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “JBI.”

“The completion of this transaction and our listing on the NYSE signifies a tremendous milestone for Janus as we continue executing on our compelling growth plans,” said Ramey Jackson, CEO of Janus. “Our industry is at a critical juncture as our customers begin modernizing and adopting our technologies and invest in upgrading existing and new facilities,” added Mr. Jackson. “We are fortunate to have had Clearlake’s support and their technology and building products expertise over the last several years as we built new software-based solutions and closed on several accretive acquisitions. We are equally as excited to welcome the Juniper team who I view as the perfect partners to help us and Clearlake drive the next chapter of growth for our company. Finally, I want to recognize the accomplishments of the broader Janus team, as I could not be more proud of our management team and employees for consistently executing and offering our customers the best solutions in the industry.”

“This is a tremendous outcome for Janus and Clearlake, and we are confident that Janus will be even better positioned as a public company to continue its impressive trajectory,” said José E. Feliciano, chairman of the Janus board of directors and co-founder and managing partner at Clearlake, and Colin Leonard, partner at Clearlake, in a joint statement. “Since our initial investment, Janus has executed on its growth strategy and developed game changing technology solutions that the industry cannot ignore. We are excited to continue as significant stakeholders in Janus and support the Company through our O.P.S.® (Operations, People, and Strategy) playbook. Together with Juniper, we believe Janus is uniquely positioned to drive considerable additional stakeholder value and look forward to our continued partnership.”

“Our goal with Juniper was not only to find a great investment for our platform, but to also partner with an industry leading company with an abundant number of growth opportunities where our team can add significant value and resources,” said Roger Fradin, chairman of Juniper. “We could not be more excited that Ramey and the broader Janus and Clearlake teams are our partners here, and we look forward to leveraging our team’s decades of industrial and access control experience to support Janus’ strategic vision.”
