Print print


Brookside Equity Partners makes control equity investments in companies with the following attributes:
  • Revenue of at least $15 million
  • EBITDA of at least $3 million
  • Gross margins in excess of 25% and EBITDA margins in excess of 10%
  • History of strong revenue and earnings growth
  • Attractive growth prospects
  • Strong management
  • Defensible market positions
We do not have a specific industry focus, but generally invest in manufacturing, business services, media and consumer businesses. We have experience in a broad range of industries including, but not limited to:
  • Plastics
  • Food
  • Specialty building products
  • Publishing
  • Specialty chemicals
  • Specialty manufacturing
We typically avoid private equity investments in early stage businesses, turn around situations, and high technology businesses. While we have experience investing in Europe and Asia, we currently focus on businesses headquartered in North America. Our goal is to partner with management to take a business to the next level of success. We prefer investing in situations where management and/or the selling shareholders are willing to reinvest with us.

The size criteria outlined above does not apply in the case of add-on acquisitions. For information on the types of add on-acquisitions Brookside Equity Partners seeks, please click here.

Brookside Equity Partners will also invest with other affiliated and nonaffiliated investment firms in both majority and minority positions.

We look forward to discussing new transactions with you and promise a prompt and confidential reply.
