Acklen Companies

Acklen Companies is a private investment firm that acquires and grows great businesses in the Mid-Atlantic that have annual sales ranging between $5 and $50 million. We focus on manufacturing, fabrication, distribution and business services companies. Transactions we consider usually involve companies with strong cash flow and the first generation's interest to achieve a partnership and/or liquidity and future leadership for the company. We are willing to be active investors in the business, relying on existing management to operate the day to day or we will take on a full time operational role.
