Industry Consolidation

FCP backs managers in acquiring other companies within their industry. Using its financial resources and acquisition expertise, FCP excels at supporting managers who seek to make a strategic acquisition, or acquire and integrate a number of companies within a fragmented industry. While other equity sponsors drive consolidations with no rational integration plan or proper due diligence, FCP has proven to be a strong ally in making consolidations work. We have also acquired product lines and other strategically important assets to help grow our portfolio companies.
