Curb refers to Curb Technologies, LLC (Curb Tech), a manufacturer of custom roof curbs for commercial HVAC systems, founded in 1999 and acquired by Catalyst Acoustics Group in May 2025.[3][4][6] The company produces made-to-order roof curbs that support HVAC unit installations on rooftops, serving contractors, engineers, and commercial builders who require precise, durable solutions for mounting rooftop equipment.[3][5][6] It addresses challenges in HVAC installations by offering short lead times, superior quality, customization, and exceptional customer service, enabling faster project timelines and reliable performance in demanding environments.[4][6] Following its acquisition, Curb Tech integrates into Catalyst's HVAC vibration isolation and seismic division, expanding its reach while maintaining operations in Opelika, Alabama.[3][4]
Curb Technologies was founded in 1999 by co-founders Russ Pitcock and Trent Globetti in Opelika, Alabama, focusing on manufacturing custom roof curbs for commercial HVAC systems.[3][4][6] The company emerged from a need for high-quality, customizable rooftop solutions in the construction and HVAC sectors, building a reputation through relationship-driven sales, rapid lead times, and engineering expertise.[3][4][5] Key early traction came from consistent growth via outstanding customer service and problem-solving for unique applications, leading to long-term success and a strong regional presence.[3][6] In May 2025, Founders Advisors facilitated its sale to Catalyst Acoustics Group, a portfolio company of KPS Capital Partners, positioning it for national expansion under Kinetics Noise Control while retaining its leadership team.[3][4]

Curb Tech rides the trend of modular, tech-optimized building systems in commercial construction, where precise HVAC integration supports energy-efficient, sustainable infrastructure amid rising demand for data centers, warehouses, and green buildings.[3][4][6] Timing aligns with post-2025 growth in HVAC due to seismic standards, vibration control needs, and supply chain localization, amplified by Catalyst's acquisition strategy to consolidate specialized manufacturers.[3][4] Market forces like labor shortages and customization demands favor its model, influencing the ecosystem by enhancing Catalyst's offerings in noise/vibration solutions and enabling faster scalability for HVAC contractors nationwide.[3][4][6]
Curb Tech's integration into Catalyst positions it for accelerated growth through expanded distribution, R&D in advanced materials, and entry into seismic/vibration markets, potentially doubling its footprint by leveraging group synergies.[3][4] Trends like AI-driven building design, stricter environmental regs, and prefab construction will shape its path, evolving its influence from regional supplier to national leader in smart HVAC mounting.[3][6] As commercial real estate rebounds, expect Curb Tech to drive innovation in durable, customizable curbs, solidifying its role in efficient, resilient infrastructure—echoing its origins in customer-first manufacturing excellence.[3][4]
