Industrial Technology
Genstar Capital targets the industrial technology industry because we believe the drive to improve manufacturing processes, increase operating efficiencies and raise worker productivity will increase the demand for industrial technology products and services well into the 21st century. The strong growth and high barriers to entry that characterize many segments of the industrial technology sector enhance its attractiveness. Genstar Capital’s strategy is to identify ascendant industrial technologies that are applicable to multiple end-markets. We seek companies with creative and committed management and business models that can scale. We believe companies with proprietary and defensible positions in niches of large, industrial equipment markets make attractive investment opportunities. Our investments in, International Aluminum Corporation, Wolverine Tube, Inc., Panolam Industries International, Inc., Propex Inc., Altra Industrial Motion, Inc. (NASD: AIMC), Woods Equipment Company, Prestolite Electric Incorporated and Gentek Building Products, Inc. are representative of our firm’s focus on the industrial technology industry.
