Greenfield Partners
Greenfield Partners is a private investment capital firm that seeks the acquisition of manufacturing, financial, consumer and industry service companies. We focus primarily on companies with revenues between $1,000,000 and $25,000,000, with good sales growth potential. These companies may be in any industry, located anywhere in the Midwest and do not have to be profitable.
Our management team has extensive experience acquiring and/or financing small and medium-sized companies. Our collective experience in mergers, acquisitions and disposition has prepared us to respond quickly when an acquisition opportunity is presented to us. Our internal resources enable us to complete an analysis expeditiously and to structure and complete a transaction. We have the insight, energy and resources necessary to build and expand our portfolio companies.
Together with a company’s key managers, we function principally as part of an active board of directors. We have had extensive experience in operational management in manufacturing companies, finance, financial analysis, engineering, and merger and acquisition planning and analysis. Quality, cost control, management of product and market complexities, multi-national competition, technology, management, and organization structure are challenges we have successfully met in our broad range of entrepreneurial businesses.
In our portfolio companies, we expect to assist in strategic planning, monitor progress towards the company’s goals and objectives, and provide capital for internal and acquisitive growth. We are not merely financial engineers making acquisitions by the numbers. If needed, we can back up our capital commitment with our financial and operational experience. But our intention is for management to operate autonomously.
If you have any acquisition candidates please contact us:
300 E. Long Lake Rd., Suite 180, Bloomfield Hills, MI 48304

“We sincerely appreciate Greenfield’s taking us as a client during a very difficult time in the U.S. Economy when banks were exceedingly reluctant to make new loans. Greenfield’s faith in us was instrumental in launching our company into a successful recovery from a difficult 2009.
We have appreciated the honorable manner in which Greenfield has conducted our relationship. Your personnel assigned to our account have always acted with knowledge, accuracy, and integrity. We are departing only due to an opportunity to significantly reduce our borrowing cost.”
-Dennis H. Withers of Trinity Forge, Inc.“Our experience with Greenfield Commercial Credit was professional and cooperative. All the personnel were very willing to work with us through an extraordinarily difficult time and were extremely accommodating and flexible when we needed them to be, especially early on through the transition stage.”
-Paul Tomick of First Choice Packaging“When I got home today I was pleasantly surprised to find a turkey in my refrigerator from Greenfield. Without a doubt, my favorite meal. Thank you so much. I also want to thank you for your professional relationship with my client. Although your costs are somewhat higher than other lenders, you more than make up for it by understanding your clients. It has been a wonderful relationship.”
-Dick Sigmund of Sigmund & Associates“Gentlemen, in the many years of dealing with lenders in providing capital for our numerous LBO’s I can only say that Greenfield Commercial Credit has always stood above all others. Each deal is different, and the management at GCC would address the unique situations with creative and flexible alternatives. If the funding fit the ultimate goals, the response from GCC, was quick and never any surprises. We will continue to use GCC on all our future deals.”
-Gary Anderson of ADF Capital Partners“The Greenfield Commercial Credit people have been the most collaborative and helpful bankers we have worked with in the last 20 years. I have been responsible for leveraged manufacturing companies which have used a wide number of organizations; Manufacturers (now Comerica), Comerica, Wells Fargo, G E Capital, Bank One (now J P Morgan Chase). Greenfield is by far the most imaginative and responsive of any of the financial institutions with whom we have worked. I have recommended them to others and would do so again.”
