Roebling Capital Partners Leads Strategic Growth Investment in White Stone Fleet Service, LLC

Cincinnati, OH – June 13, 2025 – Roebling Capital Partners announced today that it has led a strategic growth investment in White Stone Fleet Service, LLC, a fast-growing mobile fleet maintenance provider headquartered in Hamilton, Ohio. The investment, which closed on June 13, 2025, was designed to provide both capital and strategic support to accelerate White Stone’s rapid expansion across the Midwest and beyond.

Founded in 2023 by CEO Lenn Isaac, White Stone Fleet Service delivers on-site repair, diagnostics, and DOT compliance services for commercial fleets. With a team of 14 highly trained technicians and a growing client base, White Stone is answering the demand for reliable, real-time mobile maintenance as the fleet industry shifts away from traditional shop-based repairs. The company is on track to double or triple in size in the coming year.

Roebling Capital Partners led the investment alongside a mix of Roebling Capital fund limited partners and other strategic backers.

“The intangibles that Lenn brings to the table are incredibly difficult to find,” said Keith Carlson, CEO and Managing Partner of Roebling Capital Partners. “His industry aptitude, hunger, desire, and willingness to grow are exceptional. Lenn has a rare blend of aggression and humility, and that is the exact type of CEO we like to work with. We couldn’t be more excited about partnering with Lenn and helping him take the next steps on his journey as he catapults this company’s growth even further.”

White Stone’s executive leadership, CEO Lenn Isaac, Director of Operations Lou Wall, and Sales Manager Harry Landis, will remain in place. Roebling will join the company’s board and bring its Roebling Value Add™ approach to help strengthen operations and scale the business responsibly.

“I’ve been hungry to grow this company since the day we started,” said Lenn Isaac, Founder and CEO of White Stone Fleet Service. “But we needed more than capital—we needed a partner who could help us think strategically and scale with purpose. After meeting the Roebling team, I knew almost immediately they were the right fit. Their operational experience and partnership mindset make them ideal for the next chapter at White Stone.”

The investment will support White Stone’s ongoing geographic expansion, technology adoption, and continued recruitment of skilled talent. Roebling also plans to assist with potential strategic acquisitions as opportunities arise.
