Argand Partners is a New York and San Francisco Bay Area-based, diverse-owned, global middle-market private equity firm built around a team-first culture that attracts team members who want to  make a difference in the world and who want to amplify their positive impact by improving the lives of the many people we reach through our investment approach; this includes management teams and portfolio company employees and their families, our investors and the individuals on whose behalf they invest, and the communities in which our companies and constituents live and operate.

Argand invests in pursuit of strong investment returns, targeting resilient, market-leading industrial companies with under-resourced and unrealized global growth potential. Argand's companies have strong market share, sustainable competitive advantages, defensive characteristics, and significant growth potential supported by secular demand trends. The firm focuses on advanced manufacturing and business services companies with a strong U.S. nexus (headquarters, significant operations, primary growth market, or majority of revenue) and often significant global operations or expansion opportunities.

Argand is a growth-oriented control investor that engages with complex situations in order to buy well. The team employs a hands-on approach to partnering with management to create value across the investment lifecycle and help portfolio companies achieve their full potential as world-class, industry-leading companies.

For the last three years, Argand has been named a Top 50 PE Firm in The Middle Market™. The award is designed to acknowledge small and mid-sized leading private equity firms in the middle market. Argand is also a signatory to the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment and the ILPA Diversity in Action initiative, and Argand’s Managing Partner Heather Faust has been named one of the Most Influential Women in Mid-Market M&A for the last two years.
