Who We Are

 

Who We Are

Ventoux Industrial Holdings acquires privately held manufacturing companies throughout the United States. Our resources and experience in the industry enable us to close transactions quickly, and immediately transition to the fun and rewarding work; bringing good companies to their fullest potential.

We know that selling your business is not easy. You want to make sure you are leaving it in good hands and that your legacy will be continued. We make this process frictionless.

Whether you have built your company for 30+ years and are looking to exit and retire or if you are facing a forced sale by your lender, we have seen it all and we respect your needs and the position you may find yourself in. Our core philosophy is to always get to a win-win and treat all parties with the respect they deserve when going through this process.

If you are a stakeholder in any manufacturing based business, we would love to get to know you and see if your company fits our criteria. We mainly focus on companies with revenue of $15MM-$100MM for platform acquisitions. However, we are also interested in smaller businesses as bolt-on opportunities with our existing operations.

Harry Greenhouse

managing partner

Prior to joining Ventoux Holdings, Harry spent seven years restructuring middle market companies, and became deeply involved in the world of M&A. Harry specializes in tailoring innovative financial solutions to meet the needs of each business in order to achieve profitability and drive strategic growth.

Harry’s guiding philosophy when approaching an acquisition is simple: Human capital is by far the most important asset of a company. Forget about future projections or abstract theory, if you lack a solid team to implement your strategy, then you’re spinning your wheels.

In Harry's free time, you'll likely find him hiking the hills of the Pioneer Valley, or improving his cooking skills in the kitchen.
