A long-term home for a great business

One business.
Long-term commitment.

We are looking to acquire and personally operate an established technical service, tooling, or equipment business.

Our approach

A different kind of buyer.

We are not a private equity fund, and we are not looking to build a portfolio of companies. We are looking for one exceptional business that we can own and operate for the long term.

Our goal is to build on what already makes the business successful—with continuity for employees, customers and suppliers, and a commitment to responsible, long-term growth.

A personal connection to the industry

This industry is personal to us.

Our interest in precision tooling, industrial service and equipment businesses is not accidental. Our family has hands-on experience with a small saw sharpening and tooling business in New Zealand, giving us an appreciation for the technical expertise, customer relationships and craftsmanship that make these businesses special.

As we look to acquire and personally operate a business, we can also draw on experienced family members with industry knowledge as advisors.

Technical expertise. Real-world value.

We are especially interested in established businesses serving industrial and trade customers through precision tool sharpening and reconditioning, industrial equipment service and maintenance, and specialized tooling and equipment distribution.

Many of the most compelling businesses in this space combine technical expertise and recurring service with equipment, tooling, parts and consumables. We appreciate companies that have earned their reputation over many years and where customers know they can call when they need something done right.
