Brookside Equity Partners is actively seeking add-on acquisitions for existing portfolio companies. The size and financial criteria that apply for new platforms do not apply for add-on opportunities. We currently seek add-on opportunities in the following industries:

Manufacturers or Marketers of Plastic Products
Ideal acquisition candidates manufacture or market extruded plastic products, including but not limited to: lawn & garden products, matting products, marine & dock products, construction products, class A trailer products. Manufacturers or marketers of similar injection or rotational molded products will be considered, but extruded products are preferred. The plastic products must either be made from reprocessed resins or be capable of being made from reprocessed resins. No minimum size is required.

Plastics Re-processors / Re-compounders / Re-grinders
Ideal acquisition candidates are re-processors, re-compounders or re-grinders of post-industrial scrap resins. Re-processors focused on post-consumer scrap will be considered, but are less desirable than companies focused on post-industrial scrap. We will also consider post-industrial scrap resin brokers that can bring strong PVC, PE or TPE sourcing relationships. No minimum size required.

Community Newspaper Publishers
Ideal acquisition candidates are publishers of community newspapers, alternative weeklies, or shoppers in California or neighboring states. We will consider daily, weekly, and monthly publications, either paid or free circulation. No minimum size required.

Food Flavorings and Food Ingredients Manufacturers
Ideal acquisition candidates are manufacturers of food flavorings and/or specialty intermediate food ingredients. We will consider companies focused on dry and liquid flavorings for either food or beverage products. Manufacturers of branded food products are not an ideal fit. Minimum revenue of $3 million required.

Aluminum Products Manufacturers
Ideal acquisition candidates are manufacturers of fabricated aluminum products that require a powder coating finish. Preference will be given to manufacturers of building products, but others will also be considered. Companies whose businesses include installation of these products will not be considered. No minimum size required.

Sensor or Data Storage Unit Manufacturers
Ideal acquisition candidates include manufacturers of high-performance data recorders used in military, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (“ISR”). These products would generally be used to gather digital images and other data from aircraft, UAVs, satellites and submarines or in flight test applications.  Companies involved in automating the analysis of such data will also be considered (e.g., intelligence analysis tools).

We look forward to discussing add-on opportunities with you and promise a prompt and confidential reply.
