Industrial Device Investments

IDI is a Southeast-based investment company led by John Dalton, a 28-year industrial products veteran, with experience in all company functions and as a private equity investor. IDI invests in manufacturers of industrial devices, sensors, machinery, and instruments. In specific, we prefer specialty product companies with: - $5-50m in revenues, and $1-6m in earnings - Strong technical features, such that "use expertise"​ is value added - Opportunity to improve by stronger strategic focus and operational execution, but not turnarounds - Industrial selling environments with larger ticket items - Segments where technology and innovation can drive sustainable advantage - Preference toward scenarios where key management can stay and hold a meaningful equity stake Investments led by logic, not rules. With focused experience, we drive results, operator to operator.
