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.
