CHS has been among the most active
private equity investors in distribution companies. We invested
in SCP Pool Corporation, a distributor of swimming pool supplies,
in December, 1993 when few private equity firms appreciated the
attractive characteristics of distribution investments. Since then
we have invested in several additional distribution businesses. Though
the business models vary, these investments often demonstrate several
of the following investments strengths:
- An experienced management
team
- A large and diversified
base of long-term customers
- Exclusive relationships
with broad base of suppliers
- Numerous SKUs
- Profitable growth available
through industry consolidation
- Realizable acquisition synergies
- Attractive cash flow characteristics
