We buy good businesses and help management build larger, more successful companies

Nearly all of our investment transactions have been with private company founders and their families, who almost always have reinvested with us to share in the value created by growth. Management always owns a meaningful share of our companies.


We invest across a variety of industries and have been particularly successful in:
1. Building Materials and Services
2. Business Services
3. Consumer Products
4. Specialty Manufacturing


These examples say more about who we are and what we do:

1. Created one of the largest document imaging dealers in the country through acquisitions and by sharing best practices among the acquired businesses.

2. Transformed a mid-sized Midwest cabinetmaker into the fifth largest manufacturer in North America.

3. Partnered with the leading designer, marketer and distributor of home recreational sporting goods to expand product offerings, improve operational efficiency, and double the value of the business.
