"We are fortunate to have a seasoned, committed team of professionals in the Sanders Industries family of companies to conduct due diligence. It is my pleasure working with our divisional presidents, marketing personnel and Brandlin & Associates, who we consider an extension of our internal team. Together, we quickly identify a target company's opportunities and uncover issues in historical operations to enable informed decisions."
Rick Ginsberg
When a highly focused investment company seeks to acquire niche manufacturing businesses, it undoubtedly will look at a lot of ugly ducklings for each swan. In the competitive ponds that these swans reside, there typically are numerous suitors. As a hybrid straddling the line between "strategic" and "financial" investor, Sanders Industries appeals to its prospects both for its strategic-like industry knowledge and its financial-like post-closing objectives and operating style. Sanders Industries buys and builds companies that utilize conversion processes to mold, shape, forge, form, cast, fabricate, or machine materials-primarily polymers and metals-into parts or components. A core group of portfolio companies in both polymers and metals enables Sanders Industries to conduct an efficient, highly focused due diligence process. Brandlin & Associates enjoys being part of this elite team, working with seasoned operators to decipher a target company's strengths, weaknesses and fit within the Sanders Industries portfolio. Due to the nature of niche manufacturing, many of the targets identified by Sanders Industries have a limited number of customers and account concentration issues. Also, the targets typically are small, family- owned businesses that lack sophisticated accounting and operating systems. Since its due diligence team also is the post-closing integration team, Sanders is very efficient in its assessment of issues that can be mitigated versus deal killers. A company that recently passed Sanders Industries' rigorous due diligence testing, Ultracast, has proven to be a swan. Follow the link below for a full case study.
Privately-held Sanders Industries owns and operates specialty polymer and metal manufacturing businesses that build on the legacies of their founding entrepreneurs. Sanders applies its deep manufacturing expertise and ability to successfully guide companies through new stages of growth to enable its portfolio companies to thrive, while maintaining their solid foundations and the spirit of their founders.
