Reshoring and automation investment have made industrial manufacturing one of the most active buyout categories in the market. These firms are ranked by rounds led rather than participation, so this is the short list of investors actually pricing later stage deals in the category.

The CapitalDart directory identifies the right person to contact at each of these firms, with their individual investment criteria.
