Profile

KPS Capital Partners is a private equity firm headquartered in New York, founded in 1991. The firm was established by Michael Psaros and David Shapiro, who both have extensive backgrounds in private equity and investment management. KPS is recognized for its focus on manufacturing and industrial sectors, working closely with management teams to enhance strategic positions and profitability. The firm is known for its hands-on approach and ability to execute complex corporate carve-outs and drive transformational improvements in its portfolio companies. KPS invests primarily in the manufacturing and industrial sectors across a diverse array of industries. While specific investment sizes are not articulated, the firm's capacity to invest up to $1.6 billion in a single investment suggests a focus on large, complex transactions. The firm operates globally with a presence in North America, Europe, and Asia. KPS manages significant assets under its various dedicated institutional funds, and emphasizes value creation through operational improvements rather than financial engineering. Notable investments by KPS include Speira, a manufacturer of advanced rolled aluminum products, and Sport Group, another flagship investment. Both companies reflect KPS's focus on industries that require significant operational expertise and transformation.
