Granite Partners

About The Fund

Granite Partners is a private equity firm based in Toronto, Ontario, established in 1996, that focuses on partnering with mid-market manufacturing and service companies in Canada. They specialize in various transaction types including succession/estate-planning transactions, management buyouts, and shotgun transactions. Granite Partners seeks to help entrepreneurs build upon and unlock shareholder value. They offer services such as private equity, family office, and succession planning. By leveraging the capital of private investors, they work alongside existing businesses to provide the necessary resources for current owners to not only ensure financial security but also to foster business growth and development. They value minimal interference in the operations of the companies they invest in, preferring to act as supportive partners rather than taking a directive approach. Granite Partners has a history of aiding companies in executing key market strategies and assisting in growth through acquisitions. Testimonials from various business leaders, such as Brian D. King of CKR Global Group of Companies and Robert Nigol of Henderson Structured Settlements, highlight Granite's non-intrusive yet effectively supportive role in driving their companies forward. Another testimonial from Michael Holden of Granite Global Solutions (formerly McLarens Canada) states that during Granite Partners' partnership, the company achieved significant growth, including a 300% increase and multiple acquisitions with Granite's help - ultimately leading to a more than 400% growth since 2006. The firm invests across several industries including IT & TMT, Business Solutions, Hardware & Manufacturing, and IoT & Wearables, providing tailored solutions to entrepreneurs and owner-managers to help them achieve their long-term business objectives.
