Saothair Capital Partners is a private equity investment firm focused exclusively on lower-middle market industrial and manufacturing businesses facing unique operational and financial challenges.

We believe sustainable value is created first and foremost through hands-on operational transformation. The partners of Saothair have worked with businesses across a range of end markets creating fundamental, sustainable improvement to every aspect of the operations of a business.

We work in partnership with each of the key stakeholders invested in the long-term success of the business. The workforce, senior management, lenders, customers, suppliers, local officials – each have a vested interest in seeing the business thrive, and each is enrolled in the process of ensuring the business is on strong footing for a successful future. 

We are capable of investing in and acquiring businesses through a range of challenging situations, including corporate carve-outs, financial restructurings, or family-owned businesses looking for a successful transition.  We understand that different circumstances require a flexibility in transactional approach, and we are capable of meeting the needs of a business with the appropriate transactional model.  We can also show flexibility with selling stakeholders, allowing them to share in the value created under new ownership.

We focus exclusively on lower-middle market manufacturing and industrial businesses with their primary operations in North America, though satellite operations or end-markets may be overseas. 

We have experience investing in and operating manufacturing businesses across a range of processes and end markets, including paper & packaging, plastics, metals processing, automotive or heavy truck, building products, healthcare-related products, food & beverage, and other niche manufacturing.
