SYMBEX
Dedicated to long term partnership, Symbex was founded in 1993, and has evolved from a traditional acquisition firm into a long-term partner for entrepreneurs and operators. We invest in companies with strong fundamentals and untapped potential, then work side by side with leadership to scale operations, improve performance, and build lasting value.
Our approach blends the discipline of private equity with the mindset of a dedicated operator. We don’t just provide capital—we bring strategic guidance, operational support, and a deep respect for the legacy and culture of the businesses in which we invest in.
The name Symbex combines two core ideas: SYMBiosis and EXcellence. Consistent with those ideas, we believe the best outcomes come from interdependent, win-win relationships—between businesses and their customers, their teams, their suppliers, and their investors. We foster trust, alignment, and long-term thinking in everything we do.
These companies represent our portfolio of independently operated businesses, each led by its own management team and focused on serving its customers and markets with excellence. As active owners, we provide strategic direction, executive support, and disciplined capital allocation to strengthen long-term performance.
Through centralized treasury and shared back-office capabilities, we enhance financial stability, improve operational efficiency, and create scale advantages—while preserving each company’s identity, culture, and entrepreneurial focus.
