Investment Strategy
Working Together To Build Businesses
At Gridiron Capital, our objective is to provide superior investment returns with a strong commitment to working closely with management, hands-on strategy development, operational excellence and rigorous execution. We are committed to building trust and a culture of honesty, respect and teamwork.
Our strategy is to invest in smaller middle-market companies, primarily in manufacturing, service and specialty consumer industries, that have strong underlying franchises and competitive advantages that are currently underutilized. These companies are well positioned to benefit from the focused operational involvement of our principals and our Board of Business Executives. Capitalizing on the extensive business experience of our principals and our network of strategic relationships, our goal is to create and accelerate value by:
- Identifying attractive opportunities that may not necessarily be evident to firms with non-operating principals.
- Working actively with management to set corporate vision and form new strategies.
- Supporting management teams in the execution of new strategies and operational, organizational and financial initiatives that generate revenue growth and increase profit margins, while also expanding markets served and products offered.
- As former business leaders, we see the value in knowing what we don’t know, and working together with management to focus only on initiatives that create the greatest value for portfolio companies.
“Gridiron Capital’s experienced team, entrepreneurial culture, and strong relationships within the aviation industry position PAS well for executing new growth strategies. Gridiron’s business leadership team supports me, as the CEO, with the resources for achieving goals that are paramount to our team — delivering superior products and services to our customers, while creating profitable growth.”
