We are proud to have added two new platform companies to the portfolio in PSI Control Solutions, a manufacturer of electrical control panels and emergency power products, and Diamabrush, a manufacturer of concrete polishing and resurfacing products. In addition to these exciting new platform deals, our portfolio company, J&E Precision, completed a transformational add-on acquisition of a precision aerospace and defense component manufacturer.  Stay tuned for more details. 

A Successful Exit

LFM celebrated our first exit in the sale of EDSCO Fasteners, a leading supplier of foundation anchoring systems for critical infrastructure installations. With LFM’s support, EDSCO completed two acquisitions that expanded EDSCO’s footprint and capabilities, including new manufacturing and galvanizing processes. LFM also invested in a world-class management team and supported investments in business development and partnerships with key suppliers. These initiatives resulted in strong growth over our hold period and significantly expanded EDSCO’s path to new customers and new markets.
