Argand Partners

Argand Partners is a New York-based private equity firm with offices in the San Francisco Bay Area and Miami. The firm specializes in acquiring controlling interests in market-leading advanced manufacturing and business services companies headquartered in North America and Western Europe. Argand focuses on companies with a strong U.S. nexus and often significant global operations or expansion opportunities. The firm's portfolio companies collectively employ over 7,500 people worldwide and operate facilities in more than 21 countries.

Argand's investment strategy centers on identifying under-resourced companies with unrealized global growth potential. The firm seeks businesses with strong market share, sustainable competitive advantages, and significant growth potential supported by secular demand trends. Argand's target companies typically have an EBITDA between $10 million and $50 million. The firm employs a hands-on approach, partnering closely with management teams to implement transformative growth strategies and create long-term value.

Since its inception, Argand Partners has successfully acquired several companies, including Sigma Engineered Solutions, a global supplier of precision metal components, and Cherry GmbH, a leading manufacturer of high-precision keyboard switch technology. The firm's commitment to diversity and inclusion is evident through its participation in the ILPA's Diversity in Action initiative. Argand Partners is also a signatory to the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment, reflecting its dedication to responsible investment practices.
