Post-Closing Considerations

• Achieving Excellence

  Cortec Group believes that to be successful, businesses must be committed to operational excellence in all functional areas. We collaborate with management to create operational plans, review progress against these plans and reach agreement on future priorities.

• Preserving an Independent Identity

  Cortec Group is committed to maintaining the autonomous character of each of the companies it acquires. While we make the knowledge and resources of other portfolio companies available, each investment is structured as a stand-alone entity.

• Motivating and Compensating People

  We strongly believe that people are the real competitive difference in business. We align ourselves with management teams with proven track records and financially motivate them to perform well. These programs include annual cash bonus and equity incentives.

• Identifying and Executing Add-on Acquisitions

  Cortec Group seeks to grow its businesses organically and by actively pursuing appropriate add-on acquisitions. These may include product line extensions, acquisitions of competitors or the purchase of complementary businesses.

• Exit

  Cortec Group principals have had experience in all types of exits. We work closely with management to assure that the process of value realization is efficient and that the ultimate buyer understands the business and is prepared to support it and the management team. We care what happens.
