Operational investors with a builder’s mindset
About us
Andon is an investment firm focused on acquiring and developing entrepreneur-led companies with strong fundamentals and long-term potential. We combine capital with operational engagement, working side by side with management to unlock value and accelerate growth.
Our name is inspired by the andon cord — a tool from industrial production that empowers people on the ground to stop the line, solve problems, and improve continuously. It reflects how we work: hands-on, collaborative, and with a deep respect for the people closest to the business.

We operate with a clear and disciplined timeline
Each company follows a clear 4–7 year roadmap, where we optimize operations to enable the next step. We leave behind strong, independent businesses built to thrive in the future.
