Industrial manufacturing and distribution leaders are leveraging defensible new technologies to develop energy-efficient, powerful and customized offerings. Growing global competition requires successful companies to understand customer needs and meet these demands with a differentiated solution. Summit Partners works with emerging market leaders that are displacing market incumbents by improving on traditional models of product design, manufacturing, and distribution and sales.
Since 1984, Summit Partners has provided growth equity to more than 20 industrial products companies throughout North America and Europe. With more than 10 public offerings and strategic mergers in the industrial products sector, Summit has a proven track record of helping companies to create value for management and shareholders.
Here are some examples:
- Summit’s financing of Keystone RV Company provided ownership incentives to key executives, fostering an organization-wide commitment to growth and success. The company’s revenues grew rapidly, rising from more than $70 million in 1998 to $400 million in 2001, mainly through internal growth.
- Working with EMED Co., Inc., Summit recruited direct-mail professional, Tom Fay, as CEO, who overhauled the company’s marketing strategy. A yearlong process improvement effort focused on expanding relationships with top customers, developing relationships with new customers and establishing a new outbound telemarketing operation.
