Industrial Growth Partners

Industrial Growth Partners (IGP) is a San Francisco-based specialist private investment partnership focused exclusively on acquiring middle-market industrial manufacturing businesses and niche industrial services companies. Founded in 1997, IGP has raised approximately $3.4 billion in equity capital across six funds and has successfully invested alongside management in over forty platform transactions, establishing itself as a long-term strategic partner in the industrial sector.

IGP operates from a single office in San Francisco and maintains a highly collaborative approach to value creation, working closely with management teams to unlock the unique potential of their businesses. The firm primarily targets niche manufacturers, value-added distributors, and critical industrial services businesses headquartered in the United States or Canada, with revenue up to $250 million and EBITDA up to $40 million.

Investment strategies include entrepreneur and family-owned recapitalizations, corporate divestitures from large companies, and acquisitions of private equity-owned companies seeking a new growth partner. IGP emphasizes a lower leverage approach than typical private equity firms while providing access to a blue-chip base of limited partners, which includes leading endowments, foundations, family offices, and pension plans.

The firm's post-investment involvement spans multiple areas including operations, strategy, corporate finance, and corporate governance. IGP has solid relationships with numerous commercial banks and institutional financing firms, ensuring a stable capital base for portfolio companies. The firm specializes in creating value through tailored operational improvements and strategic initiatives.
