Challenge

As a new owner, it is difficult to show the former ownership group, as well as the existing management team, that the new leader is the right one to guide and grow the business.

Approach

We stuck to our core value: relationships as a cornerstone for success. We made a concerted effort to develop a strong relationship with all employees, not just the former owners and upper-level management.

Outcome

About a year and a half in, we found out that the owners of a nearby business had talked to the former owners of Eagle about selling to Four Pillars. Long story short, that business became our fourth portfolio company, Turk Manufacturing.

Goal: Achieving a Vision

Challenge: The second-generation owners of the business wanted to diversify risk while partnering with a group that could help the company achieve growth and thus its full potential.

Southwest Steel

Goal: A Fresh Perspective

Challenge: A mindset here was the common refrain, “that’s the way it’s always been done.” With a workforce that had been with the company for many years, in some cases decades, business processes and practices were not evaluated for improvement. The SOP was that if it has worked for all these years, no need to change it. While that was true in some cases, it was not true in all cases.

Goal: Preserve a Legacy

Challenge: This iconic retail store was founded by a very dynamic lady that was/is revered within the industry. We sought to partner with an investment group with the goal of preserving what was so great about the business, but injecting new life.
