Heartwood Partners portfolio company VITALSpace has acquired B.I.G. Enterprises, a manufacturer of custom guard booths and protective enclosures, marking a strategic expansion of its modular solutions capabilities.

VITALSpace, a modular solutions platform company backed by Heartwood Partners, has announced the acquisition of B.I.G. Enterprises, a manufacturer specializing in custom guard booths and protective enclosures. The deal represents a significant expansion of VITALSpace's product offerings and technical capabilities in the industrial equipment and infrastructure sector. Based in Norwalk, Connecticut, VITALSpace develops modular platform solutions designed to address complex operational challenges across industrial and commercial applications. The acquisition of B.I.G. Enterprises adds proven expertise in custom enclosure design and manufacturing to VITALSpace's existing portfolio. B.I.G. Enterprises brings specialized manufacturing capabilities in guard booths—structures commonly used in industrial facilities, transportation hubs, and secured perimeters—as well as protective enclosures designed for various operational environments. The company's custom manufacturing expertise complements VITALSpace's modular approach, enabling broader product customization and deployment flexibility. "This acquisition strengthens VITALSpace's ability to deliver integrated modular solutions to customers across multiple sectors," according to the announcement from Heartwood Partners. The addition of B.I.G.'s manufacturing and design capabilities allows VITALSpace to expand its addressable market within industrial infrastructure and security-focused applications. For industries relying on facility infrastructure—including maritime terminals, port operations, and shipping-related industrial facilities—modular enclosure solutions offer flexibility in deployment and reconfiguration. Guard booths and protective enclosures serve critical functions in controlling access, protecting personnel, and securing equipment in high-traffic operational environments. The transaction reflects broader industry trends toward consolidation among specialized manufacturers and modular solutions providers. By integrating B.I.G.'s capabilities into its platform, VITALSpace positions itself to offer more comprehensive solutions to customers seeking customized, scalable industrial infrastructure. Heartwood Partners, which focuses on growth-stage acquisitions in industrial and business services, continues to build VITALSpace into a broader platform for modular solutions. The combination of VITALSpace's platform approach with B.I.G.'s manufacturing expertise suggests potential for expanded product offerings and market reach in coming months.
