At Gardner Hays Capital, we believe in the promise of American ingenuity. A thriving industrial sector is the foundation upon which all other success is built, and there will always be demand for quality manufactured products and industrial services.

We created Gardner Hays to partner with business owners and entrepreneurs who share this vision and want to transition their business to a firm with whom they are culturally aligned.  We appreciate the value and importance of legacy and will drive growth and value creation in a manner that preserves and builds upon these hard-earned legacies.

We are not a traditional fund with a defined investment holding period, which gives us flexibility to tailor a capital solution for each situation and make decisions that are in the best interest of the business, not ones driven by fund dynamics.  Our team brings deep expertise in investing, acquisitions, dispositions, corporate finance, strategic and capital planning, branding, go-to-market strategy, revenue model optimization, business development, and transition management, delivering significant value to partner companies.  In addition, our extensive professional network enhances value for partner companies through strategic connections and opportunities.

A hands-on approach and direct accessibility set us apart.  Absent layers of bureaucracy, our team is fully engaged and ruthlessly efficient, rolling up our sleeves to work alongside management where the company needs us most.  We do not manage from afar but rather immerse ourselves in the business, building trust and delivering results through active involvement and a commitment to shared success.
