Industrial Opportunity Partners

Based in Evanston, Illinois, IOP was founded in 2005 by a group of like-minded finance and operations executives who came together to build a private equity firm centered on a shared passion for the companies that are the backbone of our economy — middle-market manufacturing and distribution businesses. We use a collaborative model for investing in and working with these companies to create value for all constituencies — employees, communities, customers, suppliers and investors. To date, IOP has raised $1.5 billion in committed capital from a base of institutional investors including endowments, pension funds and foundations. We have invested in 25+ platform companies over our history.
