We seek to make control equity investments in basic industrial companies that can be leveraged and then operated autonomously. Distress and turn-around situations are viewed as opportunities. We are currently focusing on companies with sales of $20 to $80 million and which are located in North America. Smaller companies are considered when they are a natural fit with a current operating company or located within or near our existing Midwestern footprint. Our long-term ownership model aligns well with the desires of entrepreneurial or family owners who are concerned about securing a stable future for their life's work.
