Longbow Capital
Tyson Birchall is Managing Director of Longbow Capital Inc., a private equity firm located in Calgary Alberta that invests in infrastructure, technology, energy and power. Recently, he had an important decision to make. They are equity partners in a business that delivers power in large quantities in remote locations. Specifically, compressed natural gas is trucked to remote locations where it powers generators to create electricity. One of the partners that provides the trucks and logistics for the business has approached Longbow to see if they are interested in buying the trucking division for the compressed natural gas in order to self-supply. Tyson must consider his options. Visit casenet.ca for more free, open access decision focused video teaching cases from Acadia University.
