Established in 1977, Brookside Equity Partners makes controlling private equity investments in middle-market companies. Brookside Equity Partners is not a fund. The firm invests its own capital and Brookside's investment horizons are determined by the needs of the businesses in which it invests, rather than predetermined by outside limited partners. In addition to directly sponsoring leveraged buyouts, Brookside Equity Partners will also invest with other investment firms in both majority and minority positions. Brookside makes control equity investments in companies with revenue of at least $15 million and EBITDA of at least $5 million (up to $25 million or more). Brookside does not have a specific industry focus, but generally invests in manufacturing, business services, media and consumer businesses. Brookside has experience in a broad range of industries including, but not limited to: Plastics, Food, Specialty building products, Publishing, Specialty chemicals, and Specialty manufacturing. The firm typically avoids private equity investments in early stage businesses, turn around situations, and high technology businesses. While Brookside has experience investing in Europe and Asia, the firm currently focuses on businesses headquartered in North America.
