OVERVIEW

American Industrial Partners is committed to supporting talented management teams in building their businesses.

OUR EXPERTISE

We seek to leverage our operational experience to pursue transactions where others fail to perceive investment opportunity or lack the ability to transact or create value. AIP has deep experience executing complex multi-national corporate carve outs and investing “up and down” the capital structure based on transaction characteristics. 70% of AIP’s investments to date have been corporate carve outs or public-to-private transactions. In our opinion, AIP’s reputation of speed, certainty and seamless execution makes the firm a preferred counterparty for corporate sellers looking to divest non-core assets.
