We aren't a PE fund. We use permanent capital with no fixed exit horizon — we buy businesses to own them, grow them, and protect the legacy of the founders who built them. Strategic Holdings Group has never sold a single one of its holdings.
Across the portfolio we employ a 30-person team — finance, HR, warehouse, and sales — supported by a national network of 80+ manufacturers' sales reps. We own roughly 60,000 sq ft of warehouse and office space in Cleveland, with additional warehouse capacity in Indianapolis.
