Detailed Acquisition Criteria

We seek Industrial Manufacturing, Distribution and Service companies that have a history of profitable operations. It is our desire for management to remain or for the second tier of management to move up. Standalone companies need to have a sales volume of at least $15 million, while add-ons can be of any size. We do not require standalones to be 'strategic' or 'synergistic'. We prefer companies to be headquartered in the United States and/or Canada.

We seek privately held or public companies that can fit as standalone acquisitions or add-ons to our existing operations.
​

  • We look for companies with annual revenues of up to $150 million that are headquartered in the United States and/or Canada. The company can have locations anywhere in the world.
