San Francisco, CA — August 22, 2023 Renovata is pleased to announce the placement of Mike DiNapoli as president for Hodess Cleanroom Construction, LLC, a Stellex Capital portfolio company and leader in cleanroom design and build for blue-chip corporations in automotive, aerospace, medtech and semiconductor. He takes on P&L responsibility as the general manager for new installations, working closely with the president of services.

Headquartered in Attleboro, MA, Hodess has been building sophisticated cleanrooms for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for 35 years. It has completed 600 cleanroom projects over the past 10 years, with the pace accelerating under PE ownership. The company prides itself on 85% repeat clients and has been awarded the 189th spot on the Engineering News-Record (ENR) list of Top 600 Specialty Contractors for 2022—moving up more than 100 spots since 2021.

Hodess has more than doubled in size over the past two years while maintaining high gross margins. Since Stellex invested a year ago, the company has executed on several successful acquisitions. DiNapoli will report to the company’s founder and chief executive officer Blake Hodess, a subject-matter expert with a high profile in this sector.

“Mike is a seasoned E&C leader with a proven track record of business success and driving growth, and he understands complex technical construction,” says Renovata. “He is a proven team builder and operator with more than 25 years of construction experience.”

Prior to joining Hodess, DiNapoli was vice president and general manager at Suffolk Construction, a well-respected company with $5B+ revenues. In this role, he recently launched a whole new region and grew it to be one of the company’s biggest business units.
