Hoffmann Family of Companies Acquires Olympus Limo

October 1, 2025

Strategic acquisition expands global transportation network and strengthens luxury service footprint

TAMPA BAY (Oct. 1, 2025) – Hoffmann Family of Companies (“HF Companies”), a U.S.-based family equity firm known for its long-term investment philosophy and diversified portfolio, today announced the acquisition of Olympus Limo (“Olympus”), a premier luxury transportation provider serving the Tampa Bay area and over 350 cities worldwide.

Founded in 1996 with just two stretch limousines to support a thriving wedding business at Spartan Manor, Olympus Limo has grown into the largest and most trusted ground transportation company on Florida’s West Coast. Today, Olympus offers a full suite of chauffeured services—from black car sedans and SUVs to limousines, vans, and full-size motor coaches—serving individual travelers, corporate clients, and large-scale events.

“Olympus Limo has earned a stellar reputation for delivering safe, reliable, and high-touch transportation services across the U.S. and in hundreds of international markets,” said Geoff Hoffmann, CEO of HF Companies’ private equity arm. “Their dedication to excellence and customer care mirrors our own values, making them a natural fit for our portfolio. We’re proud to welcome Olympus to Hoffmann Transportation and look forward to accelerating their growth while preserving the exceptional service their clients have come to expect.”

Following the acquisition of four leading transportation companies in 2024, Hoffmann Family of Companies’ Aviation & Transportation vertical has experienced rapid expansion. Today, the division offers a broad spectrum of services—including luxury ground transportation, medical transport, valet operations, and more—across more than 25 global locations. With a growing international footprint and a reputation for premium service, the vertical continues to deliver exceptional experiences to a diverse and discerning customer base.

“Joining Hoffmann Family of Companies marks an exciting new chapter for Olympus,” said Ted Koutsos, CEO of Olympus Limo. “We’ve always believed in delivering best-in-class service, and with HF Companies’ support, we’ll be able to elevate our client experience and expand our reach like never before.”

The deal team was led by Tim Rose, President of Hoffmann Transportation Group, and advised by Frank Campoamor (Legal). Olympus was advised by John Athanaselos and Mike Little (Legal).
