Kittle Capital Partners

Kittle Capital Partners is a family office dedicated to acquiring well-run, family- or founder-led businesses that possess strong competitive advantages. Their investment approach emphasizes long-term value creation and operational excellence, distinguishing them from traditional private equity firms by focusing on sustainable growth rather than short-term gains. The firm seeks small to medium-sized companies with clear potential for enduring success, particularly in industries such as specialty chemicals, life sciences, and nutrition. They are industry-agnostic but have deep expertise in these sectors.

The firm's acquisition process is characterized by a patient, disciplined, and rigorous approach. They acquire select, people-first businesses where values align, committing to investing in their future and driving organic growth initiatives. Kittle Capital Partners operates as long-term partners, not short-term investors, aiming to build enduring businesses rather than flipping assets. Their operational approach involves working alongside existing teams, scaling successful practices, investing in people, and leading with purpose, all while fostering a strong culture, unwavering commitment, and nurturing community.

Led by Jeff Kittle, Owner and President of Kittle Property Group, Sanctuary Insurance Company, and Kittle Capital Markets, the firm benefits from his extensive experience in finance, insurance, and housing. Under his leadership, Kittle Property Group has become a recognized top employer, developer, and owner in the industry. The team also includes professionals like Bradley Buehler, an accomplished global executive with a proven track record in scaling specialty chemical businesses, and John Kittle, a seasoned executive with over 30 years of leadership in medical nutrition, pharmaceuticals, and over-the-counter products. Together, they bring a wealth of expertise to Kittle Capital Partners, reinforcing its commitment to enhancing companies, colleagues, and communities through disciplined investment and operational excellence.
