The US lower mid-market has been a core part of our
investment strategy for the last 10 years and we have built
a strong network of relationships over this time
CenterOak makes control buyouts of small industrial
growth, consumer and business services companies,
where these can be transformed through operational
efficiency and a "buy-and-build" value creation strategy
Companies are typically founder-owned, where founders
roll significant equity
