Partner stories

Situation

Management buyout completed in 2018. The goal: give long-time leaders a chance to take ownership while keeping the company’s people and reputation intact.

Approach

USCP provided capital and guidance to strengthen operations and invest in growth, funding a new facility in 2021 and expanding services without disrupting the team.

Outcome

More than doubled revenue since the acquisition, with roughly 95% of the team still in place today.

Situation

A 130-year-old family business whose retiring president wanted to secure the company’s future without selling to an outsider.

Approach

USCP designed flexible terms that protected Westwater’s people, customers, and Central Ohio roots while positioning the next generation of leadership to succeed.

Outcome

A smooth transition and renewed growth under stable, local ownership.
