Osage Industries, founded in 1990, is an acquirer of manufacturers and value-added distributors in the middle market. Osage, which solely invests the capital of its founding family, subscribes to an extreme buy and hold philosophy; our business model requires no divestitures of successful companies. As a result, we are strongly motivated by our relationship with selling management, and prefer opportunities where the sellers stay with the company. Our management teams validate this through various testimonials.

Osage Industries seeks profitable companies with sales ranging from $10,000,000 to $75,000,000 which make an identifiable product, preferably a product with proprietary components. We seek to apply lean manufacturing techniques to small manufacturing firms and are particularly interested in low tech manufacturers in industries in which we already have holdings, including manufacturers of industrial combustion components, manufacturers of industrial products for the material safety handling industry, manufacturers of expansion plugs, restrictors or solenoid valves and manufacturers of furniture components and related hardware. However, we actively pursue a broader scope of companies, as the criteria below describe.
