This transaction allowed us to expand our ownership group to include more key leaders in the organization and to add the expertise required to take Synergi to the next level.

We look forward to supporting Synergi in its next phase of growth.”
Tassie Oswald, a Eureka Partner who is also on Synergi’s Board of Directors, added, “The market for feature staircases has grown rapidly over the last few years due to the wellness benefits, pleasing aesthetic, and floorplan flexibility that feature stairs provide.
