"Our role is to marshal the appropriate financial, strategic and human resources to take each company in our portfolio to the next level. Our entrepreneurs and executives lead their companies, but we help drive critical strategic actions at key inflection points."

Our Operating Philosophy

ILEX sponsors the following types of private equity transactions:

Recapitalizations
ILEX works with ownership of closely held businesses with liquidity while allowing them to retain significant ownership and day-to-day operational control.

Generational changes of ownership
ILEX offers owners of family businesses complete or partial liquidity while providing an active role for subsequent generations. The firm is committed to working with family members, management and employees to create value and preserve a company’s culture and legacy.

Industry consolidations
ILEX partners with experienced management teams to create leading companies in fragmented industries. The ILEX Group proactively identifies industries poised for consolidation and invests in businesses whose market position, profitability and value can be enhanced through complementary acquisitions.

Acquisition of corporate divisions/subsidiaries
ILEX sponsors transactions and invests with management teams to acquire non-strategic divisions/subsidiaries of larger corporations. Once independent, these businesses are able to pursue stand-alone growth strategies under the direction of managers who have significant equity ownership.

Special Situations
ILEX specializes in serving undercapitalized firms with innovative capital solutions.
