To partner with and actively support leading middle market businesses that have both sustainable competitive positions and identifiable growth prospects. Windjammer’s investment strategy has remained consistent since its founding and holds true whether we are engaging in a control equity transaction, co-investing along side a family-owned business, or providing subordinated debt to support an equity sponsor.

Windjammer has historically invested across a broad range of industries and businesses. Our investment interests fall into three primary industry segments: niche manufacturing, business services, and value-added distribution. The following is a representative example of prior industry experience:

Industrial Automation Control Equipment Engineered Medical Tools Private Label Consumer Products Educational Services & Supplies Sporting Goods Manufacturing Private Prisons/ Correctional Services Water Sector Equipment/ Services RF and Electronic Components

Specialty Catalog Distribution Healthcare Products and Services Food Processing Equipment Safety Products High-end Building Products Utility Transmission Equipment Aftermarket Auto Parts

Windjammer does not invest in high tech, real estate, and financial services companies. In addition, investments in operational turnarounds and early stage companies are avoided.
