WHAT WE DO

Blackford Capital is a private equity investment firm that acquires, manages, and builds middle-market manufacturing, distribution, and service companies.

Invest

Blackford Capital has two practice areas that focus on accelerating growth with profitable businesses:

National Growth Practice – focuses on middle-market enterprises across the United States and Canada.
Michigan Prosperity Fund – focuses on middle-market enterprises headquartered in the state of Michigan.

Partner

Blackford Capital believes that long-term value is created through operational effectiveness, business model innovation, and effective execution. We are patient, long-term investors and understand that it takes time, effort and resources to build companies of lasting value.

GROW

We believe the most compelling opportunities to create significant value are found in companies that need new capital, modified ownership structures, and additional infrastructure to support their growth initiatives.  Therefore, we look for companies that have the potential to grow rapidly through a combination of acquisitions, internal growth, or improved operational effectiveness.

Blackford brings additional capital and effective management expertise to its portfolio companies. Our team has more than 350 years of combined experience and has made over 100 principal investments. The firm’s investor and management teams include some of the nation’s most accomplished and respected executives, consultants and academics.
