About Edgewater Capital Partners

We invest in opportunities where we can add value above and beyond a mere source of capital. Edgewater Capital Partners is a sector-focused private equity firm investing in lower, middle-market performance materials businesses. We have extensive experience and expertise in specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and engineered substances. Twenty years of industry-specific investing has allowed us to develop a deep understanding of the complexities and nuances common to performance materials businesses. As a result, we believe expertise in our target markets enables us to quickly and comprehensively understand a company’s value proposition, customer relationships and perceived or misunderstood risks. These factors will drive a successful transaction outcome as well as help the target reach its next level of success. The experience developed over the last two decades provides us insights that few other sponsors can match. We are strategic, patient capital looking for opportunities to partner with owner-operators and management teams in developing, enhancing, and growing market-leading businesses.
