The Pfingsten Difference
OPERATING PROFESSIONALS
Half of our professionals have operating backgrounds and have run bigger and more complex businesses than the ones we purchase. Our operating professionals work in partnership with management teams and provide:
- Hands-on assistance with strategic, tactical and financial planning
- Hands-on support and assistance with operational improvements
- Best practice exchange between platform companies
- Pfingsten's team-based, continuous improvement operating process and training programs
- Global sourcing, market entry and strategic add-on acquisitions
- Due-diligence and integration support for strategic add-on acquisitions
- Temporary service in management roles during a transitional period (if needed)
This in-house capability provides the flexibility to consider investments in companies that may require operational support and resources post closing. Examples include underperforming companies, corporate divestitures, or companies that will have post-closing voids in key management positions. We will also undertake select restructurings or turnarounds through our special purpose entity for distressed investments, Sangamon Industries. www.sangamonindustries.com
