Tom Gores founded Platinum Equity in 1995 with the intent to acquire, transition, and create significant value in non-core or underperforming divisions of Fortune 1000 corporations. Today, we have acquired $27.5 billion in annual revenue, and over 100 companies in a wide variety of industries.
Platinum created the M&A&O® approach to improve the operational success of financial acquisitions, and the Platinum team continues this commitment each day. This operationally-based approach allows us to understand a business like a strategic buyer while providing the mergers and acquisitions expertise of a financial buyer. Platinum employs over 100 in-house specialists all ready to roll up their sleeves and work directly with portfolio companies to fix problems and pursue opportunities. And while the Platinum team is always on hand to help, we believe in the managers and employees of our portfolio companies and rely on their first-hand industry knowledge to create value too.
