  • Manufacturing or value added distribution businesses focused on industrial, commercial or consumer products
  • Companies with strong positions in niche markets or fragmented industries
  • Companies with stable or growing cash flows
  • Experienced management teams or key management personnel willing to stay-on
  • Sales in the $5MM to $75MM range and/or enterprise values of $5MM to $35MM; in select circumstances, we may consider acquisitions above or below this range
  • EBITDA of $1MM or above
  • Located in the Northeast, on the Eastern Seaboard or in the upper quadrant of the Midwest, east of the Mississippi .

While Stanwich Partners emphasizes the acquisition of privately held companies, we are also very interested in corporate divestitures with under-managed characteristics that can benefit from renewed focus or strategic redirection.

Stanwich Partners generally does not invest in real estate, start-up companies, companies dependent on emerging technologies or significant generators of chemical wastes.
