Our Firm Background & History Berkshire Partners seeks to invest in well-positioned, growing companies. Our commitment to collaboration has helped us attract and retain professionals with relevant experience and perspectives. Our first two decades focused solely on investing through private equity funds. The first investment in Carlin Foods paved the way for 130+ private equity investments to date. Over that time, we have forged meaningful relationships with leaders in the business services & technology, consumer, communications, industrials and healthcare sectors, along with building industry-specific knowledge that informs our practice. Together, we work hard to position our companies for long-term success. Following our initial focus on building success in our private equity business, we launched Stockbridge, our public equities business, in 2007. Stockbridge and Berkshire Private Equity enjoy a strong history of collaborating and sharing ideas. We apply a similar approach across our private and public investments and take pride in our culture and our investment process, which is based on analytical rigor and collaborative decision-making. Over three decades, our team has invested through a range of economic cycles, including both up and down markets. Milestones 1980s Berkshire Partners was founded in 1986 by Brad Bloom, Chris Clifford, Russ Epker, Carl Ferenbach and Richard Lubin, in the early days of what would become today’s private equity industry. The firm raised its first two private equity funds during this decade and enjoyed early successes in both consumer-oriented and industrial businesses. With those experiences, the firm gained insights into success factors for those sectors, as well as deep relationships with management teams, other executives, advisors, and intermediaries. Sterling Jewelry, one of the fastest-growing jewelry chains in the United States, became Berkshire’s first IPO in 1987. 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 OUR FIRM BACKGROUND & HISTORY CULTURE & VALUES CITIZENSHIP PRIVATE EQUITY SECTOR FOCUS INVESTMENT STRATEGY HOW WE WORK PORTFOLIO STOCKBRIDGE TEAM NEWS CONTACT US PRIVACY TERMS OF USE REGULATORY DISCLOSURES Linkedin ©2021 Berkshire Partners LLC.
