Kissel Capital Partners with Experienced Management Team in Acquisition of Royal Camp Services Ltd.

Kissel Capital, a private equity firm headquartered in Zionsville, Indiana, is pleased to announce its first investment in Royal Camp Services Ltd. through a management led buyout in the industrial services sector.

Royal Camp Services Ltd., based in Edmonton, Alberta, is Western Canada’s premier provider of turnkey remote accommodation and catering solutions. Since 1991, the company has delivered workforce housing, catering, and complementary services including food service, custodial, janitorial, and facility maintenance to customers in the infrastructure, energy, mining, and forestry sectors across western Canada. Royal Camp offers flexible solutions ranging from small 20-person rig camps to large 1,500+ person fully managed camps, with an emphasis on modern structures, world class cuisine, superior amenities, and a strong commitment to safety and quality.

This partnership builds on Royal Camp’s established foundation, deep client relationships, and proven expertise in remote operations. Partnering with Kissel Capital positions the company for significant growth through organic expansion across recurring oil and gas projects such as pipelines, camps, and SAGD, the Canadian mining sector, renewable energy projects including solar and wind, Indigenous partnerships, and potential add on acquisitions.

Jon Warren will serve as Chief Executive Officer of Royal Camp, supported by the company’s experienced management team. Gavin McLeod will progress into the role of Chief Financial Officer, and Dean Allen will continue to lead Summit operations in British Columbia.

“We are excited to partner with Daryl Rackel, David Dawyd, Jon Warren, and the entire Royal Camp team. Their deep industry knowledge, proven execution in remote workforce solutions, and strong focus on safety, quality, and community relationships make this an ideal management led opportunity in the industrial services sector,” said Luke Phenicie, Founder of Kissel Capital.

This investment underscores Kissel Capital’s commitment to management led buyouts in the industrial services sector, where the firm’s specialized experience and aligned investor network support superior long-term outcomes.

Kissel Capital’s Buy, Build and Hold strategy emphasizes long term partnerships that empower management teams to drive operational excellence, strategic expansion, and sustained value creation while upholding core values of integrity, safety, and quality.
