VENTOUX INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS
Buying and Building Great American Manufacturing Businesses
We acquire advanced manufacturing companies with strong capabilities and invest the capital, resources, and experience to build them for the long term
Acquisition Criteria
We invest in manufacturing businesses where our capital, operating experience, and long-term ownership approach can create lasting value.
Our primary focus is American manufacturing, but we remain flexible and will consider compelling industrial businesses where our experience and investment philosophy are a strong fit.
-
We typically seek platform investments with $20 million to $100 million in revenue, while remaining flexible based on the opportunity. We also pursue smaller businesses as strategic add-on acquisitions for our existing portfolio companies.
Whether an owner is planning a well-earned retirement after decades of building a business or navigating a more complex or distressed situation, we approach every transaction with respect, discretion, and a focus on finding a solution that works for all stakeholders.
-
We invest in privately held manufacturing businesses across a range of circumstances. Some are profitable, growing companies seeking a long-term ownership transition; others are underperforming businesses with strong underlying capabilities that need capital, operational support, or a fresh approach.
Our experience and flexible capital allow us to evaluate complex situations quickly, execute transactions efficiently, and focus on what matters most: building stronger businesses.
-
Selling a business is about more than a transaction. Owners care deeply about their employees, customers, reputation, and the legacy they have spent years building.
We take that responsibility seriously. Our goal is to preserve what makes a company successful while providing the capital, resources, and long-term perspective needed to help it reach its full potential.
Investing Across the United States
Our investment mandate is nationwide. We partner with owners of private and family-owned manufacturing businesses across the country, bringing a flexible approach to acquisitions and long-term ownership.

Our Investment Process
-
We start with a simple conversation to get to know you, understand your goals, and learn what makes your business unique. No pressure, no commitments—just an opportunity to see if Ventoux could be the right fit.
-
We conduct a high-level review of the business and its financial performance to determine whether there is a potential fit. We keep this initial review simple and focused, minimizing the burden on you and your team.
-
We provide a clear indication of value and outline the key terms of a potential transaction. This allows both sides to determine whether expectations are aligned before investing significant time or resources in the next steps.
-
Once we are aligned on terms, we conduct a focused review of the business to confirm our understanding and prepare for closing. We work closely with owners and their advisors to keep the process efficient, practical, and minimally disruptive to day-to-day operations.
-
Once due diligence is complete, we finalize the transaction documents and move efficiently toward closing. We work closely with owners and their advisors to ensure a smooth transition and begin the next chapter for the business.
