We have organized our lower middle market private equity portfolio companies into the five industry sectors we target for our investments. These are consumer products, food, restaurants, franchising, manufacturing, and service businesses. Some Sentinel portfolio companies fall into more than one sector. We have provided links to web sites where possible and an alphabetical list of Sentinel's portfolio companies. We seek to work with outstanding executives and help them build successful businesses. When entrepreneurs and company executives consider a private equity firm, we believe their decision should be based on: The character of the firm's partners and their record of delivering what they promise. The firm's ability to understand key business drivers and quickly respond to change. Professional and career growth opportunities available to entrepreneurs through long-term partnership with Sentinel. A roll-up-your-sleeves approach to helping management achieve goals. A demonstrated ability to close transactions.
