Success Built on Collaborative, Long-Term Investment Strategies

Westar Capital LLC is a private investment firm established in 1987 that provides capital to acquire established growth companies in partnership with management.  In special situations, Westar also provides equity financing for corporate expansion, restructurings or acquisitions and will purchase significant equity positions from large shareholders seeking liquidity.

Westar collaborates with existing management to grow promising middle market companies into industry leaders over a five-to-ten year period.  In all cases, we arrange for management to own a significant share of the equity.  At Westar we believe superior investment performance is best achieved when a company is jointly owned by its managers and experienced investors who have the financial resources, long-term perspective and expertise to build highly successful businesses.

Key to this success is the insight and knowledge to match the investment structure with management's goals and create a mutually beneficial environment that leads to profit and revenue growth.  We structure flexible transactions, emphasizing shared common objectives and avoiding overuse of leverage to foster entities with lasting value. 

Westar has an outstanding record compared to our peers, a reflection of our collaborative and long-term investment philosophies.  An important measure of this success is the enduring relationships we have built and the flourishing businesses our management teams have created with our assistance and capital.
