Onex Corp

Onex Corporation functions as a private equity firm, primarily focused on strategic acquisitions and building out platform companies. Its diverse investment strategies include management buyouts, growth equity injections, recapitalizations, operational restructurings of undervalued entities, and corporate carve-outs of non-core divisions from multinational corporations. The firm also pursues investments in distressed businesses across small, mid, large, and upper-middle market capitalizations. Onex targets a wide array of industries globally, such as technology, aerospace, healthcare, retail, restaurants, entertainment, gaming, and various manufacturing sectors including electronics, industrial products, metal services, building products, cabinetry, and commercial vehicles. It also extends its reach into financial services, encompassing commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, and commercial and multi-unit residential real estate. Geographically, Onex seeks businesses headquartered in North America, specifically the United States and Canada, or Europe. Investment commitments typically range from $125 million to $1 billion for companies with at least $300 million in annual revenue, although this minimum is flexible if the target operates in an industry where Onex already has an established presence. The firm makes direct investments and co-investments through its managed private equity, real estate, and credit funds, consistently aiming to secure a controlling stake in its portfolio companies. Founded in 1984, Onex Corporation is headquartered in Toronto, Canada, with additional offices located in New York, Englewood Cliffs, Boston, and London.
