Addison Capital Partners

Addison Capital Partners is a private equity investment firm that focuses on partnering with owners and operators of "smaller" middle-market growth companies. The firm specializes in providing legacy stewardship, liquidity, growth capital, and management resources to foster the expansion and development of these enterprises. Their investment philosophy emphasizes patient capital and a "buy and build" approach, aiming to optimize long-term capital gains by actively collaborating with management teams to remove growth barriers and enhance profitability through both organic strategies and targeted acquisitions.

Founded in 2004, Addison Capital Partners was established by Brian Miller, who brings extensive experience as a former CFO of a middle-market distribution and merchandising company, where he guided significant revenue and EBITDA growth. The firm is backed by high-net-worth family offices, allowing for a flexible investment horizon not constrained by typical fund cycles.

The firm's portfolio includes investments across various industrial and technology-driven sectors. Notable past and present portfolio companies include Innovative Power Products, STI-CO Industries, Communication Power, Monomer Polymer and Dajac Labs, and Gowanda Components Group. Addison Capital Partners primarily targets specialty manufacturers of engineered components and critical service providers within sectors such as aerospace and defense, medical devices, semiconductors, and other industrial supply chain verticals.

The leadership team at Addison Capital Partners includes Partners Brian Miller and Rupert de Vink. Brian Miller manages portfolio companies and leads deal origination, while Rupert de Vink, who joined in 2012, is responsible for sourcing, analyzing, and overseeing investments, drawing on his background from Blackstone Healthcare Partners and Credit Suisse First Boston. The firm also benefits from an experienced Advisory Board, including Paul DeBruce, Chairman of DeBruce Companies, and Lodewijk de Vink, former Chairman, President, and CEO of Warner-Lambert Company, both contributing significant industry and financial expertise.
