LMM Industrial Partners seeks to acquire and support founder- and family-owned businesses that maintain, repair, inspect, protect, and rehabilitate highway bridges. Our objective is to build the group around the strengths, people, customer relationships, and operating capabilities of the businesses we acquire.
We believe the nation’s aging bridge network creates a long-term need for specialized contractors with strong technical capabilities, experienced employees, established public-agency relationships, and a reputation for safe, dependable execution.
Every ownership transition is different. We begin by understanding what an owner wants for the business, its employees, and their own role after closing. We then develop a transaction structure and transition plan aligned with those priorities.

We can structure a transaction around an owner’s objectives, including the opportunity to:
Continue leading the company
Majority recapitalization with retained equity
Reduce day-to-day responsibilities
Phased transition to an expanded management team
Support family or management succession
Capital and organizational support for the next generation
Retire after closing
Defined transition period and leadership succession plan
Diversify wealth while retaining upside
Meaningful liquidity with the opportunity to retain equity
We are primarily interested in established bridge-preservation businesses with specialized capabilities, strong customer relationships, experienced employees, and a record of safe, dependable execution.
We maintain relationships with experienced institutional equity investors and lenders and begin developing the appropriate financing structure early in the transaction process. Our objective is to give sellers a clear, credible path to closing while preserving the company’s ability to meet bonding requirements, invest in operations, and pursue long-term growth.
Whether you are exploring a transaction or simply thinking about succession, we welcome a confidential, no-obligation conversation.
