Feb 3, 2021

SAN ANTONIO - February 3, 2021 - (Newswire.com)

AXIS Industrial Holdings, Inc., a portfolio company of New Orleans-based private equity firm Carr's Hill Capital Partners Management, LP ("Carr's Hill"), recently completed its acquisition of San Antonio-based Travis Industries, LLC ("Travis").

Spanning five generations since 1886, Travis Industries is a family-owned provider of specialty craft services to industrial customers throughout the U.S. Southwest region. With locations in San Antonio, Dallas/Ft. Worth and Midland, Texas, Travis specializes in painting & protective coating services for a diverse set of midstream, power generation, water & wastewater, manufacturing, and industrial customers. With minimal customer, end market, and geographic overlap, Travis' combination with the existing AXIS Industrial Services, LLC ("AXIS") operations will provide customers a full suite of critical services to support routine maintenance, turnarounds, and new-build projects.

"The addition of Travis Industries to AXIS' existing footprint helps us further broaden our soft crafts capabilities, introduces us to new customers, and deepens our relationships in existing and adjacent markets," said JT Maddox IV, President of AXIS. "We believe our customers will benefit tremendously from the partnership between AXIS and Travis."

"Our goal at Travis Industries is to provide a wide range of capabilities delivered with best-in-class service," said Carlton Catalani, President of Travis Industries. "The combination of Travis and AXIS brings an exceptional team and relationships together that will help expand our presence in the critical industrial corridor along the Gulf Coast."

H. David de Laureal, Founder and Managing Partner of Carr's Hill, stated, "We are very excited about the important addition of Travis Industries to our multi-craft industrial services platform. JT and Carlton have built excellent businesses, both known for superior service, strong safety performance, and successful project execution. We will continue to rely on their leadership and are confident that our expanded capabilities will help us accelerate our growth and expand into new markets together."

The acquisition of Travis Industries aligns with the Carr's Hill mission of partnering with high-potential, entrepreneurial managers and providing them the capital and strategic resources to grow their businesses into market leaders. The AXIS multi-craft platform has grown rapidly since the initial acquisition in June 2020, experiencing over 65% organic revenue growth in 2020, and will continue to seek organic as well as M&A growth opportunities going forward. Travis is the third portfolio company of Carr's Hill as the firm continues to partner with great teams and businesses throughout the lower middle-market industrial technology & services sector.

McGuireWoods LLP served as legal counsel to AXIS Industrial Holdings, Inc.

Why the 1960 film The Wild, Wild Rose is the late Grace Chang’s greatest cinematic triumph

Grace Chang, also known by her stage name Ge Lan, died in August at the age of 93.

Famed for pure roles expressing the aspirations of would-be middle-class Hong Kong girls, Chang initially played characters who were hip, popular, socially adept, conscientious and relatively well-off, possessing no hint of sexuality; her character in Mambo Girl is almost...

Klara and the Sun review: Jenna Ortega is an android in upbeat but saccharine sci-fi fable

3/5 stars Taika Waititi, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind Jojo Rabbit (2019), brings his trademark quirk to Klara and the Sun, a sunny-side-up sci-fi fable that occasionally delivers flashes of darkness. Based on Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2021 novel of the same name, the film is set in a future where AI companions are the norm. The effervescent Klara (Jenna Ortega) is one such android, albeit a discontinued B1 model now being hawked from a city discount store. Klara’s escape comes when a young girl,...

Get scared together at Plantation Bay's month-long Halloween nightmare

There's a science to screaming together. Studies in psychology and behavioral research have long suggested that sharing a controlled scare — the kind where you know, deep down, that you're actually safe — triggers a rush of adrenaline and endorphins that can heighten bonding, deepen trust, and leave people feeling closer to one another than before. Couples, in particular, have been known to find the experience, shall we say, invigorating. That's the delightfully wicked premise behind Haunted Hotel Halloween – A Month-Long Halloween Nightmare, returning to Plantation Bay, a Real Resort with a Real Spa, from Oct. 16 to Nov. 15. For one entire month, the resort invites guests to trade the ordinary getaway for something with a little more bite — a Halloween escape built around the simple, primal pleasure of getting scared together. Instead of a single night of frights, Plantation Bay is stretching the Halloween spirit across four full weeks, giving guests far more than a costume party or a haunted house. The Month-Long Halloween Nightmare weaves Halloween-themed adventures, spooky encounters, and horrifying treats into the entire length of a guest's stay — transforming the resort's lagoons, pathways, and hidden corners into a playground for the imagination, and for the easily startled. A getaway designed for screaming — together At the heart of the experience is the idea that fear, when it's shared, is actually fun. The controlled scare — the jump, the gasp, the nervous laughter that follows — is one of the few experiences that reliably brings people together, whether they're a family with young thrill-seekers, a group of friends looking for something out of the ordinary, or a couple on an early date searching for a story worth retelling. Plantation Bay is throwing the doors wide open to all of them. The resort's Month-Long Halloween Nightmare is designed for families, couples, friends, and just about anyone willing to get scared together. What's included in the halloween escape At P9,000 nett per room per night, with a minimum stay of two consecutive nights, guests can sink into a full Halloween escape. The package includes: · Breakfast for all registered occupants, so every scare starts with a proper meal. · Haunted Hotel Adventure, where guests explore Plantation Bay and discover the eerie stories lurking around the resort. Available every other day. · House of Horrors Experience, a fright-filled attraction for those who dare to enter. Available every other day, alternating with the Haunted Hotel Adventure. · Scary Sweets, a platter of horrifying Halloween desserts served at the guest's preferred time. · 20 gaming machine tokens, for when the adrenaline needs somewhere else to go. The package is offered on a Run-of-the-House room type, with a maximum occupancy of two adults and two children — ideal for a family Halloween outing. All bookings are non-refundable, so guests are encouraged to lock in their dates and commit to the scare. A month of halloween, not just a night By running from mid-October through mid-November, the Month-Long Halloween Nightmare gives guests the freedom to choose when they want their frights — a long weekend in October, a Halloween escape that sidesteps the crowds, or even a post-Halloween retreat for those who aren't quite ready to let the season go. The alternating schedule of the Haunted Hotel Adventure and the House of Horrors Experience ensures that a two-night stay delivers both signature attractions, while longer stays offer the chance to revisit the terrors at a more leisurely pace. Who are you bringing? For all the attractions, desserts, and tokens, the resort is posing what may be the most important question of the season: Who are you bringing? Bring your spouse. Bring your children. Bring your rich uncle — he's probably been meaning to treat the family anyway. Bring someone you're on First Base with, and see where the night takes you. Perhaps straight to Third Base. Perhaps all the way Home. Whether it's an excuse for family bonding, an unusual date, or simply a chance to find out, once and for all, who screams first, Plantation Bay's Month-Long Halloween Nightmare offers one more compelling reason to get scared together. Plantation Bay is a Real Resort with a Real Spa, set on 11.4 hectares of landscaped grounds in Mactan, Cebu. Known for its expansive lagoon-style pools, private beach, and distinctive amenities, the resort has long been a destination for travelers seeking a getaway that's anything but ordinary. This Halloween season, it becomes something slightly more sinister — in the best possible way. For full details and bookings, visit https://plantationbay.com/halloween/
