Logistics

Our logistics division may include a broad range of consumer and commercially oriented companies capable of offering a wide variety of products and services including shipping, warehousing, mail, package, freight delivery, airlines and motor vehicles.

Companies considered for this division should be proficient with large scale vertical operations integrated into at least three of the following areas: global sea trade, global air trade, global land trade, transportation infrastructure, logistics facilities, supply chain services or port operators.

Logistics service providers are faced with more opportunities than ever before. The global recession is generating opportunities throughout the industry allowing them to re-align their business processes and emerge stronger. The combination of loosening trade policies, tariff reductions, multilateral trade agreements, tax benefits and the sharing of global trade information have all bolstered trade. These opportunities will enable companies to develop globally as they take advantage of new technologies and relaxed regulations in the coming years.

We consider this division a strategic compliment to our company as well as our portfolio.

Construction

Our construction division may include a broad range of consumer and commercially oriented companies capable of offering a wide variety of services.

Construction is not only the process of building or assembling for infrastructure, but also includes design, development, demolition and remodeling. Far from being a single activity, construction is a feat of multitasking.

Companies we consider for this division should have several years experience and have an established record of conducting specialized or large scale projects.

For the successful execution of any project, effecting planning is essential and even though the construction industry has experienced a soft market we believe this trend to be slowing and we see this as a prime opportunity for consolidation on a global scale. We are looking for the “experts,” respected within their own peer group to lead the revitalization of this industry.

Technology

Our technology division may include a broad range of consumer and commercially oriented companies capable of offering a wide variety of products and services including computers, communications, networking, business and educational platforms, ERP, CRM and Saas.

Companies we consider for this division should be highly specialized and capable of leveraging partnerships with third parties to bring hardware and software products to market. The technology and entertainment sectors have become complementary. From content creation to content distribution, we are looking for companies positioned in this value chain. These companies will adapt by focusing on new innovations to empower, enhance, and enrich our digital world. They will revitalize the market with streamlined technologies enabling increased functionality while enhancing the end users experience. Technology is the home of innovation; expect to see significant new disruptive technologies emerge in both products and services. This will ultimately improve business decision-making, increase productivity and assist in more effectively managing risk.

We are looking for businesses throughout the various energy sectors and geographic regions that are capable of identifying industry challenges while developing effective risk management protocols. These companies will develop into global energy providers as they take advantage of innovations and technologies to offer robust arrays of renewable energy solutions to even the most remote areas of the world.

This division will continue to compliment our portfolio for years to come.

Manufacturing

Our manufacturing division may include a broad range of consumer and commercially oriented companies capable of offering a wide variety of fabrication products and services including industrial machinery, food & beverage production, timber, semiconductors, steel manufactures and chemicals.

Our wholesale division may include a broad range of consumer and commercially oriented companies capable of competing in a wide variety of sectors including Specialty Merchandisers, General Merchandisers, Food and Consumer Products.

Companies considered for this division should be highly focused on efficiencies in the form of technology, operating and sourcing strategies. They should be effective with global operations that specialize in both market complexity and the diversity of the rapidly evolving industry. Most major retailers will be out of expansion room in the United States for their core concepts in the next few years. Companies will need to adapt with new concepts, new customer segments, new geography and new categories.

We expect to see more concentration of market share globally and major companies that endure consolidation will be positioned strategically to meet their target customer. These companies will thrive as they take advantage the new customer-driven business model through innovation and technology while addressing the needs of aging populations in the coming years.

We consider this division a strategic compliment to our company and to our portfolio of subsidiaries.
