Investment Approach
Blackford Capital invests in middle-market manufacturing, distribution, and service companies in both mature and growing industries. The firm is particularly interested in investment opportunities where the management team will remain with the company, but Blackford Capital also appreciates investment opportunities where existing management teams are retiring or where key executives need to be added. We generally look for opportunities that can satisfy a majority of the following criteria:
