Working at the board level, we bring strong operating experience, an extensive network of industry relationships and financial resources, and the ability to adapt quickly to changing market environments. In every opportunity, four key principles guide our approach:
-
Open Communication
In our experience, honest communication is a key tenet of investment and business success. We believe in proactive, consistent and frank dialog in all phases of the relationship.
-
Partnering With Management
We view each investment as a true partnership with our portfolio company leadership teams. Success comes from collaboration, mutual respect and setting clear objectives.
-
Intellectual Curiousity
We are more than just a source of capital. We are genuinely interested in learning the dynamics of each business we support and in developing the deep understanding that underpins all successful strategies.
-
A Long-Term View
We have a long-term investment horizon. We support decisions, strategies and investments to build a business for sustained success that extends far beyond our involvement.
Our Focus
We have been investing in middle-market companies—many of which were in highly complex, challenging situations—for more than two decades. During that time, we have consistently demonstrated the ability to close transactions quickly and according to plan.
We look to partner with market leaders with defensible positions and strong customer relationships. We seek businesses whose core strengths and opportunities align with our expertise and experience. In short, we look to invest in companies that we believe are uniquely positioned to help.
Types of Transactions
- Corporate Carve‑outs
- Underperforming Businesses
- Growth Investments
- Family-Owned Businesses
Testimonials and endorsements reflect Wynnchurch's and portfolio company management's opinions and beliefs regarding the company and the investment. Such opinions and beliefs are subjective, do not represent a complete assessment of the company, the market or Wynnchurch's overall investment performance and cannot be independently verified. Such statements are being offered as references for purposes of demonstrating the benefits of working with the Wynnchurch team and not for the purpose of soliciting investors. Portfolio company executives receive/received a salary and economics from the portfolio company. No executives were paid for their testimonial or endorsement. There is a conflict of interest in these unpaid testimonials and endorsements in that all speakers stand to benefit from Wynnchurch's success and they work/worked for a Wynnchurch portfolio company.
Our Culture
Ours is a culture of communication, collaboration and performance. We are an experienced group that makes decisions as a team based on data and results. We take as much pride in being easy and enjoyable to work with as we do in our success at helping build companies.
