Arsenal Capital Partners is an industry-focused buyout firm that invests in products and services companies. Arsenal's target transaction size is $50 million to $400 million in enterprise value. We invest in niche industry sectors where we have prior experience, and where our operating resources can help facilitate incremental growth and margin improvement.

In general, we are seeking leading players in niche markets with strong management teams and competitive advantages created by differentiated products or services. Typically, this means the companies we target have relatively high margins, generate good cash flow, and enjoy defensible market positions.

Sector Focused
Investing in industry sectors where we have prior investment and operating experience has several benefits. First, we can move quickly to identify both issues and opportunities, which enhance our speed and certainty as a buyer. Second, having this experience allows us to develop a good rapport with management teams by elevating the level of discussion related to their businesses. Third, by having access to industry-knowledgeable resources that can positively impact business performance, the overall value to a seller can be maximized through enhanced equity rollover appreciation. More specifically, we are looking to acquire products and services companies in the following end markets:
		Specialty & Fine Chemicals
		Segments of Healthcare
		Transportation and Logistics
		Power Generation
		Aerospace & Defense
		Process Industry Components and Services
		Financial Services
Responsive If you introduce us to a new transaction, we will give you a quick “yes or no” response regarding our interest level in pursuing the opportunity. Given our clear industry focus and investment strategy, we won’t waste your time. We pride ourselves on fulfilling our commitments and providing “speed & certainty” to any intermediary or seller.
Flexible
Arsenal invests in well-run companies as well as more complicated deals, special situations, or companies that are experiencing some performance issues. While we are receptive to evaluating “underperforming” companies, we do not pursue deep turnarounds. We also avoid companies that rely on high levels of technology.
Maximize Value To Sellers
Arsenal is prepared to pay market prices and also acquire less than 100% of the equity, enabling a seller or management team to retain equity in order to maximize value over the long term. With our value-added resources, this retained equity can appreciate significantly on the next exit realization.
