Western Canadian Energy Services Leader Acquires the Dallas and Odessa-Based Business to Expand Services Into the United States
As part of the acquisition, a transition process will be undertaken to align business processes, which will include the relocation of the head office to Houston, TX, while maintaining all services in the current branch locations in Fort Worth, Odessa, and New Mexico. Additionally, the business will undergo a brand transition to the name CAVIS (kay-vis) Energy.
The acquisition is the result of an intentional, strategic pivot for CDN that began in March 2024, when CDN was acquired by the Hoffmann Family of Companies, a US-based, family-owned, private equity group. A central driver of the Hoffmann-CDN acquisition was to provide capacity and capital for CDN to seize new opportunities in new markets. Today’s acquisition is the realization of this vision—and the first of several planned expansions.
“There is an opportunity for CDN to be a global player and industry dominator,” said Dean Fraser, CEO and Co-Founder, CDN. “The market-driven focus and strong foundational core values of Superior Optimization are similar to CDN, and we are excited to work alongside their leadership and talented industry professionals to provide energy services in this dynamic US market.”
“CDN understands that there are significant opportunities in the energy services space, and the market is ready for a provider that understands the improvements and innovations ahead for the global energy infrastructure,” said Geoff Hoffmann, Co-CEO, Hoffmann Family of Companies. “As the demand grows for large-scale players to undertake this work, we are pleased to see CDN’s entrance into the United States to seize these opportunities. We welcome Superior Optimization to the family and look forward to its transition to CAVIS Energy.”
