Calpe Group has been built on integrity, tough decisions and innovation. Our success comes from partnering with the best and brightest entrepreneurs and the hardest working business owners to develop synergistic opportunities that would otherwise not exist.
As an equity purchaser of privately-held companies and commercial real estate, our purpose is to give current owners liquidity and to align companies with strategic allies. We work with management to create a smooth transition, to preserve and build upon relationships, and to achieve greater profitability. By being unique in our approach as well as investing in people and their experience, the path to achieving our shared goals become distinct with fewer pitfalls.
The compelling advantage of a private investment firm buyer such as Calpe Group is that we usually make an individual acquirement while the trade purchaser may be integrating the company with comparable entities already in their portfolio. The trade purchaser’s approach can realistically include excessive divestitures of overlapping positions in the company’s management or operating team, while we attempt to respect the existing team. Our goal is to keep most of the team as a cohesive and effective unit. Additionally, we normally fund transactions in a timely basis with cash, while the trade purchaser may be a public concern that requires many time consuming hurdles to be overcome and can conceivably utilize stock as compensation.
Calpe Group is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and supports the communities in which we have a presence. Our objective every day is to strive for a dynamic culture imbued with the values of corporate and individual accountability.
We are glad that you took the time to visit our site. If you want to learn more about Calpe Group, or to discuss potential opportunities, we look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
Michael H. Jang
Managing Director
