Empire adheres to a well-defined and focused investment strategy that
is driven by the firm’s successful history of acquiring business units
from large public and private corporations. The firm takes controlling
interests in diversified, mature, lower middle-market businesses,
with enterprise values up to $100 million. At Empire, we focus on
investment opportunities that allow us to unlock and enhance value
by leveraging our operational experience with corporate divestitures.
Empire has a proven track record of optimizing and adding significant
value through a structured, repeatable and time-tested investment
process. Since we invest our own capital, we approach each
investment with a long-term view. Therefore, Empire takes a very
detailed hands-on operational approach in the identification and
selection of an investment opportunity, the development and
execution of transition plans tailored to meet the needs of each
acquired company, as well as providing ongoing oversight and
strategic development.

We appreciated Empire’s thorough and
flexible approach to the divestiture.
