Industry:    2018-06-29

Japanese financial services firm Orix Corp (8591.T) has purchased Peak Utility Services, a U.S. infrastructure maintenance provider, for an unspecified amount, the Nikkei newspaper reported.

Orix executed the purchase through a U.S unit for “several hundred million dollars”, the newspaper added.

Orix has made four private-equity investments related to U.S. infrastructure since 2016 and plans to merge similar businesses to give them greater scale before cashing out of these investments, it said.
