GI Partners was drawn to MRI's unique and leading position in the real estate industry, an end market we know very well. The management team has built a world-class enterprise through both organic growth and the successful integration of several strategic add-on acquisitions over the past four years to further develop its product offerings. In our discussions with the MRI team, we have already identified several significant growth opportunities for the company, including expansion into new geographies and applications, and we look forward to working with Patrick Ghilani and his talented team to capitalize on these opportunities.
