Howard Industries
The Electrical Power Products Division of Howard Industries is a leading manufacturer of electrical distribution equipment used by electric utility companies, and by commercial and industrial companies worldwide. Our products include distribution transformers, power transformers, voltage regulators, switching/sectionalizing cabinets, junction boxes, and transformer components.
As a private investing firm we take a long-term commitment and work closely with the management team to achieve significant growth and superior value for both employees and stockholders. We invest in established, well-managed, profitable companies. We direct our resources to furthering their growth — in developing new product lines, accessing new markets, finding complementary acquisitions, sourcing internationally, purchasing equipment, and expanding facilities. We have a commitment to the basics, while developing innovative ways to grow. This philosophy respects a company’s entrepreneurial independence, while supporting a stronger market position and continued success.
Howard Industries invests its partners’ committed capital in small- and mid-sized companies to fuel their growth and competitiveness. Our preferred investments are in privately held companies facing a transition of the company’s owner, major shareholders or corporate parent.
There are many compelling reasons why owners sell their companies, including:
- A significant stockholder may desire liquidity because of family needs, estate planning, or a change in strategy.
- Current partners or outside investors may have conflicting business or personal objectives.
- Ownership may need support to take advantage of opportunities in the global economy.
We tailor our investment relationship to meet the needs of the selling shareholders, the ongoing owners, the management and the employees. Our expertise lies both in accomplishing a transaction that meets the seller’s specific requirements and in supporting management going forward.
We are experienced with the anxieties and uncertainties triggered by a transition. Employees, customers, partners, suppliers, competitors – each stakeholder has their own concerns that must be dealt with as you move ahead. Listening carefully to the current owners, we work to create an active program that addresses the response to each audience.
We assist management to develop concise operation plans and clearly communicate the metrics of success throughout the company. Once established, the metrics guide management in improving performance to plan. We assist management to bring the company into its next phase of growth through expanding its markets and products, improving its organization, encouraging innovation, maximizing its customer channels and strengthening its bond with customers.
