Alan Sellery, Managing Partner of Ironbridge commented, “We are very pleased with the support we have received from both Canadian and international institutional investors. With over 60% of the capital sourced from outside Canada, we believe this is indicative of the attractiveness of the Canadian market and the quality of the investment opportunities that exist here.”
Ironbridge’s team of seven professionals invests in Canadian lower middle-market businesses operating in a broad range of industries including manufacturing, distribution, and consumer and business products and services. The Ironbridge investment team has extensive financial and operating experience and works closely with the management teams of its portfolio companies to enhance value.
