INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
Our entire platform is built to help steel-consuming OEMs create certainty, reduce friction, and ultimately acquire a greater share of wallet in their respective markets. Our investment philosophy is compatible with a wide array of industrial dynamics and entrepreneurial visions and is applicable to a diverse range of investment situations, scenarios, and partnerships. The common theme is forging connections where flat rolled steel is a crucial component of the organization’s end product.
Our investment horizon is tailored for longevity; FMI’s capital injections are designed to serve as permanent capital. Yet, we remain adaptable to the strategic visions of our control partners, aligning strategies with their long-term business goals. Beyond collaborating with existing management teams and ownership groups, FMI is prepared to engage with, invest in, and partner with entities across various situations, providing a multifaceted approach to investment and partnership.
CURRENT INVESTMENTS
-
FABRAL
FMI made its first equity investment in 2023 with Fabral Metal and Wall Roof Systems from OmniMax International, Inc. Fabral is the premier supplier of metal building envelope solutions for multiple end markets including residential, commercial and post frame/agricultural.
“We know – based on our results and our customers’ results across every type of market – that positive enterprise value is realized when we implement our model of separating the physical supply from the price. Implementing those strategies at Fabral is our way of once again practicing what we preach.” said Jeremy Flack, Flack Global Metals Founder and Chief Executive Officer.
