What People Are Saying
Ron Guenther¹
Former Owner of Chemtron Corporation
“As my brothers and I contemplated the sale of our family business, in addition to a seamless transition, we were concerned about our people, their opportunities, and the legacy of our business. CW understands family businesses and how to help them achieve their growth objectives. We partnered with CW and the results exceeded our expectations.”
Rob Swords²
Three-time CEO for CW Industrial Partners
“I’ve partnered with CW three times. They trust me and my team to execute. CW is unlike other PE firms. The team is rooted in a Midwest, value-based culture that knows the challenges of running middle market industrial businesses. CW appreciates the difficulty management teams have growing companies. They provide the resources and get out of the way. They operate with the utmost integrity and I feel like they always have my back.”
André Augier³
Vice Chair, Investment Banking, Cowen
“CW believes in relationships. I’ve been on both sides of the table from CW many times during the past 15 of my 30 years as an investment banker. They know the industrials space, don’t pull any punches and treat buyers and sellers with respect.”
