Private equity investment in the industrials sector has been extremely active over the last several years. Given the state of the market, Reed Smith recently hosted a Private Equity Industrials Deal Forum in Chicago, drawing an audience of investment banks and private equity sponsors seeking investment and deal flow opportunities.

Bankers in attendance included representatives from William Blair, Stifel, Guggenheim Partners, Houlihan Lokey, KeyBanc Capital Market, Lincoln International, Lazard, Solomon Partners, D.A. Davidson, Mesirow, Duff & Phelps, Stephens, and CIBC.

On the private equity side, sponsors included H.I.G. Capital, Industrial Growth Partners, Industrial Opportunity Partners, Monomoy Capital Partners, Pacific Avenue Capital Partners, Frontenac, Pfingsten, Platinum Equity, Riverarch Equity Partners, Riverside Company, Tenex Capital, Wind Point Partners, Wynnchurch Capital, Angeles Equity, and Prairie Capital.

The Deal Forum also included an insightful presentation on the final rule amending the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) form and instructions and the premerger notification rules implementing the HSR Act, delivered by Reed Smith antitrust partner Michelle Mantine.

"Our private equity team understands that navigating the complexities of the industrials sector requires not just legal expertise, but also a deep understanding of our clients' strategic goals,” said Chris Sheaffer, global vice-chair of the firm’s Private Equity Group. “Events like this allow us to keep our finger on the pulse of the market while simultaneously creating networking and deal flow opportunities for key sponsors and investment banks in the industrials space."

This is the second in a series of Private Equity Deal Forum events hosted by the firm, the first of which took place in New York in July, covering deal flow opportunities in the healthcare sector.
