Journey to Market Leadership

Our Firm

Finding the Right Fit

We are a partner of choice for families, founders, and managers. Our focus on transparency helps create an M&A strategy, build cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of systems and resources, and identify efficiencies so management teams can focus on growth.

“It has been a pleasure partnering with Odyssey over the last several years. As a first-time private equity CEO, I deeply valued their strategic support throughout our journey. From helping us craft our long-term vision to supporting due diligence and execution across eight acquisitions, Odyssey was instrumental in driving our growth. Their guidance on key value creation levers played a critical role in our achievements and ultimately contributed to a highly successful exit.”

— Scott Dulitz, CEO, Mercalis

“We are grateful for our successful partnership with Odyssey that transformed NSI into a leading platform in the electrical and HVAC markets. I am thankful to the Odyssey team for being our thought partner through this journey and sharing their extensive resources to help us grow through several strategic acquisitions and expansion of our internal capabilities. We are excited for our future, building on what we accomplished together with Odyssey.”

— G.R. Schrotenboer, CEO, NSI

“When I joined the Company shortly after Odyssey’s investment, we were immediately aligned on the vision of what we could create together as partners. The business was rebranded, and we built a team to create a unique set of products and services for our customers. This allowed us to become a global market leader and achieve terrific long-term results together.”

— Mike Kachmer, CEO, Duravant

“Odyssey approaches buying, building and integrating businesses at a volume and velocity that we have never experienced before, and we needed to transform our own capabilities to meet their pace. Throughout the process, they have been excellent partners to us – always providing resources to support our business, but more importantly, investing in the processes, tools and people so that we have our own resources for growth. We now have an internal M&A engine that will provide growth opportunities well into the future.”

— Mike McIlwain, CEO, ATS
