The Granite Companies
The Granite Companies comprise a strong and diversified portfolio that we plan to grow long-term. Across the next decade and beyond, we will add platform companies as retiring entrepreneurs – current owners of great Minnesota companies – choose Granite as the long-term, majority owner and steward of their legacy.
We invest in great management teams and people in Minnesota companies that are established, growing, and profitable niche leaders in national or global markets. In addition to adding new platform companies in Minnesota, we will also continue to actively invest in strategic add-on acquisitions around the world that grow our existing platform companies, bringing complementary talent, technologies, products, services, customers, markets, and global reach.
We take the long view
Our objective is to sustain Granite for 100 years and more.
