03:33 PM EST, 02/07/2025 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates with TruArc spokesperson response in the fourth paragraph.)

Blackstone (BX) has acquired AI Fire from private equity firm TruArc Partners for around $1.1 billion including assumed debt, Bloomberg reported Friday, citing people with knowledge of the matter.

TruArc, which bought privately-held AI Fire in March 2021 and grew the commercial fire and safety equipment company through nearly two dozen add-on acquisitions, said it completed the deal without identifying the buyer or terms of the sale. TruArc retained an undisclosed stake in AI Fire, it said.

A TruArc spokesperson declined to comment on the terms of the deal Friday while Blackstone did not immediately return a message from MT Newswires seeking comment.
