## PURIS Acquires Amici Engineering Contractors in Latest Defense-Maritime Expansion Move NEW YORK — PURIS, LLC, a portfolio company of investment affiliates of J.F. Lehman & Company, LLC (JFLCO), has announced the completion of its acquisition of Amici Engineering Contractors, LLC, according to a press release issued August 7, 2026.
