Mission Critical Group

Mission Critical Group (MCG) provides custom-engineered power and electrical solutions for industries requiring reliable power. The company was formed in May 2023 through the backing of Emerald Lake Capital Management, initially combining Mission Critical Facilities International (MCFI) and Johnson Thermal Systems (JTS). Jeff Drees serves as the Chief Executive Officer.

MCG operates through a portfolio of specialized companies acquired to enhance its manufacturing and service capabilities. These include MCFI, an Austin-based systems integrator for power solutions, modular data centers, and microgrids; JTS, founded in 2004 in Idaho, which manufactures generator enclosures and modular power systems; Point Eight Power, a company with a history dating back to 1950 that produces switchgear and power control buildings; and DVM Power + Control, a manufacturer of low- and medium-voltage electrical distribution equipment. This series of acquisitions, including four in the two years leading up to 2025, significantly expanded MCG's footprint to over one million square feet of manufacturing space across the United States.

The company's business model focuses on the design, manufacturing, delivery, and service of a comprehensive range of critical power infrastructure. Its product portfolio includes switchgear, switchboards, modular data centers, microgrids, generator enclosures, and turnkey power systems. MCG serves a diverse client base across sectors such as data centers, healthcare, telecommunications, industrial manufacturing, and energy. The company addresses the challenges of an increasingly strained grid infrastructure by providing reliable and efficient power solutions designed to ensure uninterrupted operations for its clients.
