The Tamarix Advantage

Collaborative Approach

We have over 30 years of experience working with lower-middle market companies in North America and internationally. Management is always at the helm, but our counsel has proven to help companies find the best path forward. Our expertise extends across multiple business cycles working with companies through various stages of growth.

Long Term Perspective

We approach all investments as long-term investors. We have learned over the years that such an approach to investing will align our interests with those of the management team and ensure the highest probability of a smooth and successful exit.

The value to our partners comes through a thoughtful combination of operational perspective, mergers and acquisition experience, financial acumen, and years of disciplined and repeatable execution.
