About us

Turnout Industries is a Chicago-based diversified holding company focused on acquiring companies with $5-50 million of revenue and at least $1 million of EBITDA. 

Turnout Industries was formed in 2021 with committed capital in partnership with a strategic investor. Our flexible structure and indefinite holding period makes Turnout Industries a differentiated investor for lower middle market businesses.
