APi Group Acquires Bronx-Based Start Elevator

Minnesota-headquartered APi Group has acquired Bronx, NY-based Start Elevator, a company founded in 1992 by Jack O’Shea that has more than 120 teammates. The move follows APi’s acquisition of Tampa, Florida-based Elevated Facility Service Group in 2024. Like Elevated, Start will be a part of APi’s Safety Services segment. APi says this acquisition will position it for “continued growth in the elevator market and expand our position as the leading provider for life safety services.” O’Shea said Start Elevator “is excited to have found its forever home with APi Group. Between their focus on Building Great Leaders^® and expanding their footprint in the elevator and escalator services industry, it just made sense for us to join the family of companies. We look forward to investing in our teammates’ development and growing over the long term as a part of the APi family.”
