Gallagher Industries’ success in leveraged buyouts began with Founder Charles Gallagher’s 1986 acquisition of Applied Industrial Materials Corporation (AIMCOR). This former $500 million division of International Minerals and Chemicals had unrealized business potential, and Gallagher’s strategies transformed the company to generate significant earnings, pay down the transaction debt and buy out an outside investor group in less than two years.

This unprecedented success began a series of new platform acquisitions of businesses in profitable market niches with significant opportunities for organic and add-on acquisition growth. In 1997, the family partnership of Gallagher Enterprises was launched with a dedicated team that continued to acquire and build companies around Gallagher’s proven investment philosophy.

In 2005, Gallagher Enterprises formed and internally funded Gallagher Industries to commit additional resources and focus to future investments in manufacturing and value-added distribution businesses. Gallagher Industries continues to build upon the Gallagher legacy, forming long-term partnerships with excellent operating partners who have turned their vision into profitable enterprises. Our current team has led six highly successful leveraged buyouts and has positioned current platform holdings for significant future growth.

To date, the Gallagher Industries’ investment model has driven significant, repeated successes across manufacturing, marketing, and value-added distribution businesses including: mining, minerals, ferroalloys, refinery outsourcing, bulk shipping terminals, petroleum coke, metal building products, high density and PET blow-molded containers, clay-based soil amendments, leading-edge erosion control products and synthetic stone veneer. Drawing upon our extensive experience in finance, sales, marketing, administration, manufacturing and operations, we continue our history of producing significant shareholder value for ourselves and our management partners.
