Vestar Capital Partners / Vestar Resources

Expert Counsel — When You Need It

When we invest in a management team, we’re confident they know how to run their business, and run it well. They’ve already proven that by creating a valuable franchise.

We expect them to continue running that business as they think best, and we give them the freedom to do so. But we also make available to them an extensive network of business experts and advisers who can supplement their own business knowledge and help the company and its management team realize their full potential.

At the core of this network is the Vestar Resources team, a group of seasoned business executives with backgrounds in operations, finance, strategic consulting, and legal and tax services. They can supply experience in any number of areas where a newly independent management team may need assistance: marketing and sales, product innovation, supply-chain management, information technology, and so on.

The Vestar Network

Vestar Resources also serves as the gateway to the broader network of advisers we make available to our portfolio partners. These include executives at other portfolio companies, the board members of those companies, and selected outside consultants.

When a portfolio partner is faced with an unfamiliar challenge or opportunity and would like assistance, ranging from an informal sounding board to more substantive help, Vestar Resources can help guide him to the person or group in the Vestar network who can best meet his needs.

Vestar Resources also looks for ways to leverage the power of the portfolio to help the individual companies. If several companies use the same raw material in a manufacturing process, for example, Vestar Resources can help bring those management teams together to discuss cost-saving partnerships.

When you partner with Vestar, you partner with our entire network of resources. You may never need to call on it. But it’s always there if you do.
