Argand Partners, LP (“Argand”) is a New York-based middle-market private equity firm with offices in the San Francisco Bay Area and Miami. Founded in 2015 by prior senior investment team members of Castle Harlan Inc., Argand currently manages approximately $710 million in assets under management.

Argand invests in market-leading companies in the manufacturing and business services industries.  The firm focuses on businesses with a strong U.S. nexus through factors including, without limitation, U.S. headquarters, significant operations, primary growth market, and/or majority of revenue, often combined with substantial global operations or expansion opportunities.  Currently, three portfolio companies, Cherry, Oase Living Water, and Brintons are European-headquartered, while four, Sigma Engineered Solutions, Concrete Pumping Holdings, PolyShield Group and Capezio are North American-headquartered. Across these platforms, Argand has completed 23 add-on acquisitions.

Ideal target companies are typically under-resourced with unrealized global growth potential. Argand’s objective is to create world-class, industry-leading companies by dedicating the experience, insight, and network of its team to drive transformational growth and assist management teams in creating lasting value.
