Powering a Safer, More Productive World, With Precision

About us

At Kantrex, we acquire and build leading instrumentation and components businesses while ensuring people, customers and brand equity are taken care of before, during and after the sale.

A Differentiated Alternative

Instead of private equity’s focus on maximizing near term profits, we ensure owners achieve their exit goals while taking care of the business that took years (or decades) to build.

  • Long-term owners, not business flippers
  • Business builders, not financial engineers
  • Partnership model with flexible, long-term capital

Customer Obsessed

Being customer-obsessed means placing the customer at the heart of every decision and action taken by a business. This approach prioritizes understanding and exceeding customer expectations, ensuring their needs and desires drive innovation and service.

  • Empathy
  • Proactivity
  • Responsiveness

Quality Focused

Quality focused organizations prioritize excellence in every aspect of their operations, from product development to customer service. This commitment to quality ensures that every product or service meets or exceeds customer expectations, fostering trust and loyalty.

  • Customer-Centric Approach
  • Continuous Improvement
  • Attention to Detail

Our advisors bring decades of experience to leverage growth avenues and key relationships.

Questions?

  • Kantrex is a holding company specialized in buying, growing and building mission-critical instrumentation and components businesses. We offer a long-term alternative to founders and owners looking to sell while preserving their legacy and participating in future upside.

  • We look for instrumentation and components businesses serving critical workflows and systems with at least >$2M EBITDA. Our companies generally are leaders in a growing niche market and have stellar reputations and technical expertise and/or IP.

  • Our parent firm, Kanbrick, has significant experience in the industry. This includes its partnership with JM Test Systems, an industry leader in the calibration space for 40+ years. Additionally, we have built a team of industry leading operating advisors with experience building and scaling companies in the space. 

  • We take an in-depth look at the quantitative and qualitative components of your business. As we go through our process and review your financials, we’ll be transparent about what valuation may look like and what kind and type of transaction makes the most sense.

  • We start with an introductory call to discuss your business and exit goals to assess. Then, we sign an NDA and review preliminary financials. After, we typically conduct in-person meetings to dive deeper into your business and the kind of acquisition you’re looking for while finishing valuation. Once we reach an agreement, we move onto submitting an LOI with the offer. When that is signed, we can complete our due diligence within 60 days.
