UL Solutions Inc. completed the sale of its Employee Health & Safety (EHS) software business to an affiliate of private‑equity firm Peak Rock Capital on April 2 2026. The transaction closed at a purchase price of approximately $210 million and will see the divested business rebranded as PureEHS.
The divestiture is part of UL Solutions’ strategy to streamline its portfolio and concentrate on higher‑margin testing, inspection and certification (TIC) services and its ULTRUS software suite. By shedding a non‑core asset that generated about $56 million of 2025 revenue, the company aims to strengthen its balance sheet, reduce operating complexity and redeploy capital toward core growth opportunities.
Peak Rock Capital views the acquisition as a platform to build a standalone, mission‑critical EHS software provider. The firm plans to invest in product development, including artificial‑intelligence capabilities, and to expand PureEHS’s customer base of more than 900 safety‑critical industry clients.
UL Solutions’ CEO noted that the EHS offerings were considered non‑core and that the sale would allow the company to focus resources on software solutions most relevant to its TIC customer base. Peak Rock’s Managing Director highlighted PureEHS as a compelling opportunity to invest in a software business that helps organizations minimize risk, increase efficiency and ensure compliance, underscoring the firm’s commitment to category‑defining software companies.
The transaction represents a significant shift in UL Solutions’ business mix, but the divested segment accounted for only a small portion of overall revenue, mitigating the impact on the company’s financial performance while positioning it for stronger focus on its core competencies.
