+Carefree Strategic Acquisitions

Carefree, a Scott Fetzer company, is seeking to acquire private companies focused on the manufacture, distribution, and/or installation of shade related products in the residential, commercial, and/or recreational vehicle markets. We are eager to hear from business owners and executives of North American businesses that meet the following criteria:

• Revenue between $10 million and $100 million
• Demonstrated consistent earning power
• A proven management team that wants to stay involved post-transaction

In accordance with the investment philosophy of our parent company, our approach is unique:

• Unlike most private equity investors, we have no defined holding period for acquisitions; our preference is to work together forever.
• Unlike most strategic buyers, the companies in which we invest will continue to operate independently with their current management team and culture intact.
