We aren't a PE fund. We use permanent capital with no fixed exit horizon. We buy businesses to own and grow them while protecting the founder's legacy. Strategic Holdings Group has never sold a single one of its holdings.
Across the portfolio, our 30-person team spans finance, HR, warehousing, and sales. A national network of more than 80 manufacturers' sales representatives supports them. We own roughly 60,000 sq ft of warehouse and office space in Cleveland, with additional warehouse capacity in Indianapolis.
