Industrial Opportunity Partners, LLC
Based in Evanston, Illinois, IOP was founded in 2005 by a group of like-minded finance and operations executives who came together to build a private equity firm centered on a shared passion for the companies that are the backbone of our economy — middle-market manufacturing and distribution businesses. We use a collaborative model for investing in and working with these companies to create value for all constituencies — employees, communities, customers, suppliers and investors. Within IOP, we bring together experienced investing professionals with our exclusive and full-time Operating Principals. We utilize the Operating Principals to partner with management at each platform company to create value throughout our investment period — from investment diligence and strategic planning to operational execution and realization. We investment $15 - $100 million in equity per transaction. To date, IOP has raised $1.5B+ in committed capital from a base of institutional investors including endowments, pension funds and foundations. We have invested in 30+ platform companies over our history. IOP invests in middle-market companies throughout North America. We have made acquisitions in 20states, two Canadian provinces and Mexico.
