Primary Insight
What Stands Out
- Private equity and platform buyers appear repeatedly, including Dunes Point Capital, LP, Artemis Capital Partners, Argosy Private Equity, and NextGen Growth Partners.
- Manufacturing and installation-adjacent businesses are a core focus: cabinetry, precast concrete, stormwater/ag drainage pipe, FRP panels, and architectural sheet metal.
- Distribution plays a prominent role as well, such as First Supply adding Able Distributors (HVAC supply) and Dealers Wholesale acquiring Palatine Builders Supply (doors/frames/hardware).
- Several deals explicitly expand geographic footprint across the Midwest or broader U.S./Canada while keeping operations in Illinois (e.g., continued Elmhurst operations).
| Deal focus seen in Illinois | Example transactions |
|---|---|
| Product manufacturing | Salt Creek Capital → Builders Cabinet, Inc.; KPS Capital Partners → Crane Composites |
| HVAC/building materials distribution | First Supply → Able Distributors; Dealers Wholesale → Palatine Builders Supply |
| Exterior/security & specialty components | The Riverside Company → DAWGS; Pelco Products → Component Products, Inc. |
| Concrete & drainage systems | Everside Capital Partners → exit of Alcrete LLC; Advanced Drainage Systems → River Valley Pipe LLC |
