Patoka Capital Completes Sale of Portfolio Company, Cyber Sciences


NEW ALBANY, IN – June 10, 2023 – Patoka Capital LLC, a Southern Indiana-based private investment firm, announced the completion of a sale transaction of Cyber Sciences, a manufacturer of high-quality specialty products for monitoring electrical power systems, to Minnesota-based designer and manufacturer of custom power solutions, Trystar, LLC.
