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.

Both companies reflect KPS's focus on industries that require significant operational expertise and transformation.
