Whitesell Group is not a Private Equity or Financial Buyer

Whitesell Group is an active investor whose intention is long-term growth. We focus on synergistic fit with our global manufacturing and sourcing network to strengthen the acquired company’s position, enhance company performance and generate continuing long-term operational returns corporate-wide.

With these interests at heart, Whitesell adds substantial, flexible liquidity to the company and then collaboratively partners with management teams to execute long-term plans that leverage the sharing of customers, best practices, technology and process capabilities to help the acquired company realize its maximum potential. This focus on broadening capability and multiplying value through synergistic leveraging often allows Whitesell to find inherent value in companies that other buyers may overlook.

A Whitesell ownership stake can mean both maintained day-to-day control and dynamic execution of company plans, as well as an investor whose financial interests are aligned with the company over the long haul – as opposed to the typical realities of Private Equity.

Whitesell Group only has a history of buying/partnering with companies, not selling or ‘flipping’ them.
