Investment Track Record

A Solid History Of Building Businesses

Gridiron Capital is run by successful business and investment professionals who have extensive experience acquiring, improving and building businesses. We have a true commitment to assisting management teams at portfolio companies in growing to the next level. As former members of our own family businesses, we understand what is required from an operational standpoint to build a business and create value. We have been successful building companies which became not only larger and more profitable, but developed more powerful market positions. The combination of these factors also resulted in rising valuation multiples while these businesses were under our ownership.

Our portfolio companies have achieved great success, benefiting management teams and employees through the development and execution of specific strategies for each situation. These include, among other things: creating a clear shared vision for each company, growth and strategy initiatives, management team development, creating incentive structures to align with profitable growth, reorganizing operations to be more efficient and productive, asset management, developing new markets, acquiring new companies or product lines, lean manufacturing processes, new productivity tools (information technology), refocusing distribution strategy, new product development and new international manufacturing and sourcing strategies.
