GrayMatter Announces Accelerated Growth Plan with Significant Investment from Private Equity Firm Hamilton Robinson

Pittsburgh, PA — Pittsburgh’s tech scene is on the rise and GrayMatter, a technology and consulting company headquartered there, believes a recent investment in their business will significantly contribute to the technology surge taking place in the city.

Co-founder, CEO and Carnegie Mellon graduate Jim Gillespie says a substantial investment by private equity firm Hamilton Robinson Capital Partners will allow GrayMatter to rapidly expand its efforts to digitally transform industrial operations and empower people at forward-thinking companies across the United States and Canada.

“This acceleration allows GrayMatter to bring more resources, technology and innovation to our customers. We’re thrilled to expand the possibilities of digital industrial transformations,” said Gillespie.
