DN Partners seeks investment candidates, privately or publicly held, in a  wide range of industry categories.  The following is a general description of our criteria.

  • Manufacturing, distribution, and business service companies

  • An existing strong management team with a demonstrated ability to operate the company, and an interest in investing in the transaction
