More
than anything else, the ability to add hands-on operating expertise
and strategic perspective, to create enduring value in a business,
is what distinguishes Andlinger & Company.
We take a controlling position in acquired businesses, and our people
invest their own funds in each new investment. We are singularly committed
to building businesses; to helping them grow, expand and improve.
We seek to align our goals with the interests of the business, its
managers, stockholders, employees, and the community in which the
business resides. To encourage the management team we establish compensation
programs tied to operating performance, and containing equity participation.
While we always encourage internal growth, we believe that success
in many industries invariably demands external growth. This is accomplished
most often through follow-on acquisitions of strategic missing
pieces.
