Our goal is to build upon the profitable heritage of market-leading companies in stable demand or growing industries to create world-class enterprises. We accomplish this by providing management partners with the best financial platform and operational support to facilitate the execution of long-term growth strategies.

American Securities adheres to a proven investment philosophy:

• Invest in market-leading companies with sustainable positions
• Operate in stable demand industries
• Employ a conservative capital structure with no subordinated debt
• Work diligently with managment teams to be a value added partner. Our Resources Group includes world-class financial experts who are full-time American Securities' employees available to portfolio company managment teams on request 

Our low-level capital structures allows us to be long-term investors. This extended investment horizon allows us to focus not just on exit strategies or market timing but on strengthening and positioning our portfolio companies for long-term success regardless of fluctuating economic cycles.  Our core investment objective is to deadicate the time, energy and resources to help every portfolio achieve its full potential.

American Securities attracts and retains a preeminent Investment Team.  We recruit all of our professionals from top-tier educational institutions and business firms and we make deliberate, on-going investment in training and development. The success of our approach to talent managment is proven by the exceptional quality of our colleagues and by our firm's low turnover.

Over a decade ago, we created the American Securities Resources Group, a distinctive corps of accomplished professionals who complement the skills of our Investment Team. The Resources Group is comprised of approximately two dozen full-time American Securities professionals who are world-class functional experts in areas such as operations, strategy, information technology, human capital, Asia Pacific strategy and sourcing, pricing, and media relations. These experienced professionals are available upon request by portfolio company management teams and CEO's, without charge. They contribute to the overall success of American Securities' investments by helping drive key portfolio company buisness initiatives.
