Empire Profile

Empire Investment Holdings is a private investment firm which adheres to a well defined and focused acquisition strategy that is driven by the firm's history in acquiring, operating and managing over 50 corporate divestitures across several industries. Given Empire's background, it maintains particular focus and expertise in the business profiles of technology, business services, niche manufacturing and distribution. Empire does not approach an investment opportunity with a pre-defined exit strategy, but instead a clear entrance strategy. The firm adheres to this approach since it allows for maximum flexibility in optimizing value creation and strategic growth. The firm's approach is specialized in addressing the complexities of acquiring non-core corporate divestitures, as well as ensuring post close business continuity.

Empire is a strategic and financial investor which directly manages every phase of the investment cycle. Since we approach each investment with a long-term view, Empire takes a hands-on approach in the identification and selection of an investment opportunity, the development and execution of a transition plan tailored to meet the needs of each acquired company, as well as its ongoing executive oversight and strategic development.

At Empire, we focus on investment opportunities that allow us to unlock and enhance value by leveraging our operational experience with corporate divestitures that are no longer considered strategic and viewed as non-core. We invest in mature businesses with potential growth dynamics that offer strategically critical products and services to their customers. Empire has extensive experience in quickly identifying potential targets which fit this profile. Empire has a proven track record of optimizing and adding significant value through a structured, repeatable, and time-tested investment process.

"We appreciated Empire's thorough and flexible approach to the divestiture."
