We believe owner-built industrial businesses deserve continuity — not financial engineering and forced change. APR Capital exists to provide a credible long-term home for these companies, with professional process, clear accountability, and a measured operating playbook.
| Strategics | Fund-based PE | APR Capital | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Goal | Integrate and optimise within a broader group | Improve performance and realise value within a fund cycle | Long-term stewardship and compounding |
| Post-Acquisition Style | Integration-led; synergies and standardisation | Value-creation plan with a defined timeline | Continuity-first; measured improvements over time |
| Hold Period | Varies by corporate strategy | Typically 3–7 years | Long-term hold (HoldCo mindset) |
| Business Impact | Can be significant depending on integration | Often material change programs | Gradual, collaborative enhancement |
| Management Changes | May change leadership to align with group structure | Selectively refresh leadership; incentives aligned to exit | Prefer to retain strong teams; add capability only where needed |
Note: This is a generalisation — each buyer and situation is different.
