MiddleGround Capital, Lexington, KY, has acquired majority ownership of Shiloh Industries, Inc., its second automotive deal closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Shiloh is a global innovative-solutions provider focusing on lightweighting technologies that provide environmental and safety benefits to the mobility market.
