CHS’ first investment was in a manufacturer of complex metal stampings, expanded metal and wire forms. We invested in Koller Industries, Inc. in August 1989 and in aggregate have invested in 22 manufacturers of industrial products. We have developed expertise in a number of niche areas including paper and packaging, building products, OEM components, engineered materials and building products.

We target growing industries with high barriers to entry, especially from foreign-based competition, and companies with low-cost producer status, proprietary products and consistent operating cash flow. We look for management teams with depth and maturity who have relevant experience leading companies through a variety of economic cycles.
