We target large industrial and consumer sectors for consolidation, where smaller niche players operate successfully under the price and volume umbrellas set up by much larger players. Initial platform companies typically have between $2 and 10 million in EBITDA. Add-on acquisitions for existing platforms can be smaller. We can bring new management or back existing teams. See below for our current target markets for new platforms as well as follow-on acquisitions for existing portfolio companies.



REPRESENTATIVE TARGET INVESTMENTS:



Pigments and Dyes



We are seeking to acquire manufacturers of colorants playing in defensible OEM market niches with at least $3 million in revenue to combine with our portfolio company Organic Dyes and Pigments (acquired in 2014). Organic operates out of two facilities in RI and SC and is seeking to add products, talent and market segments to its existing business.



QSR Franchisees



Our existing investment ADT Pizza is looking for acquisitions of quick serve restaurant franchisee operators with at least 10 locations under a single brand, ideally in the Southeastern, Southwestern or Midwestern United States. ADT Pizza operates nearly 200 Pizza Hut locations in 9 states and is looking to diversify into other food categories such as fried chicken, burgers and Mexican, in addition to seeking to acquire other Pizza Hut operators.



Industrial Pumps



In partnership with an experienced pump industry executive, we are seeking to acquire profitable branded industrial pump manufacturers, distributors and service centers with at least $7 million in revenue. In any acquisition, we would merge with an existing positive displacement rotary piston pump brand currently operated by this executive.



Coatings and Laminates



Leveraging our team's investment and operating experience in textiles, home furnishings and industrial markets where coatings and lamination services are a critical part of the manufacturing process, we are seeking profitable coatings manufacturing services companies with at least $7 million in sales which can function as a platform to buy other businesses.

Castle Island Partners has four principals residing in the Boston and Charlotte markets, and seeks to acquire companies that are easily accessed from these airports. We have been investing for over 15 years in distribution, manufacturing, software and service businesses in industrial and consumer sectors, ranging in EBITDA from $1 million to $50 million. At the lower of this size range, we are principally buying for our own accounts, whereas for larger deals we partner with large family offices and institutions, with whom we have collaborated in the past. We typically buy a controlling stake but are open to minority investments in companies where we have a material say and economic stake in the partnership. Our objective is to own businesses for 10-15 years. We have acquired six companies and currently have three active investments: Boston Interiors Furniture, Organic Dyes and Pigments, and ADT Pizza.
