BUILDING INDUSTRY PARTNERS, LLC

Building Industry Partners is the leading private growth equity investment firm focused in the U.S. middle-market building products industry. Founded by Matt Ogden in 2008, BIP has offices in Dallas, New York and Chicago and is managed by its Managing Partners, Matt Ogden and Zach Coopersmith, and Partners Alex Hodgkin, Allan Breidenbach and Michael Arnaud. BIP invests its principals’ own capital, as well as that of a small number of like-minded family office and individual limited partners, including accomplished active and retired building industry entrepreneurs. Through its Advisory Circle, BIP maintains the financial sponsor industry’s leading proprietary network of active and retired building products industry operators, thought leaders and service providers that support the Firm’s industry-focused proprietary opportunity sourcing, due diligence and portfolio company management and value-add efforts.

BIP invests via an “Operator First” model, serving as an equity capital partner to support proven building products industry leaders in building niche-leading businesses. To this end, BIP provides equity capital to: (1) proven owner-operators of niche-focused building products manufacturers, distributors and specialty service companies seeking capital for growth, liquidity and/or partial ownership transition and (2) proven building industry operators and entrepreneurs seeking to build a business within their niche of expertise, primarily via acquisition of a platform company and execution of organic and/or “buy & build” growth strategies. The Firm focuses primarily on majority or minority ownership investments involving platform companies with $20 to $250 million in revenues as well as smaller companies with unique growth opportunities or as part of larger niche “buy & build” acquisition strategies.

BIP principals have co-founded and/or served as the equity capital sponsor for a number of the building products industry’s leading middle-market companies, including: U.S. LBM Holdings, Kodiak Building Partners, Rugby Architectural Building Products, United Cabinet Holdings, Homewood Holdings, U.S. Fence Solutions Company, and Building Industry Advisors.

BIP continues to seek opportunities to sponsor the building products industry’s greatest operating talents in achieving their entrepreneurial visions.
