An Alternative Type of Capital Partner
We believe we are the differentiated alternative as a capital partner. We seek to invest our long-term capital and take very seriously our core values of honesty, integrity and loyalty. We have and will continue to maintain enduring relationships with our business partners over generations.
Sellers who care
We partner with families, founders, and management teams who value PPC as a partner to create long-term value. We understand there may come a time when there is a need to diversify wealth, transition ownership of a business and/or bring on a capital partner. Finding that partner who values the employees, culture, relationships, and reputation of the company and who can be trusted to position that company for continued success is paramount.

Deep subsector
expertise
We focus on a small number of subsectors so we can spend time getting to know the businesses, people, and dynamics that shape them. Within the Manufactured Products and Services sectors, our teams build relationships with owners, management teams, and advisors long before any transaction. Each sector is led by both an investment and operating partner, supported by professionals who concentrate on specific subsectors. That continuity allows us to bring relevant perspective and practical support when you’re thinking about what comes next for your business.
Within the Manufactured Products sector, we look for large markets ($500M+), global customer bases, leaders in “rational oligopoly,” strong intellectual property, and consolidation opportunities. Within the Services sector, we look for sizable ($500M+) industries with secular tailwinds, route-based and/or multi-site service models, low cost of service and high cost of failure offerings, opportunities for tech-enabled differentiation, and asset light.
