Thoughtful Transition for Manufacturing and Logistic Businesses
We acquire small to mid-sized manufacturing and logistic businesses in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and Florida. But more than that, we carry them forward.
We know the challenges — and the pride — of building something from the ground up. That’s why we approach every acquisition with the understanding that we’re stepping into a story that began long before us. We’re here to protect what works, elevate what can grow, and ensure that your legacy thrives through the next generation.
We work with founders who:
Our goal is to build on what you’ve created and extend its value well into the future.

Key Innovations is a principal buyer.
We acquire and operate businesses directly — we are not brokers, intermediaries, or representatives for outside investors. When you speak with us, you're speaking with the decision-makers who will own and steward your business long-term.
Key Innovations is a long-term owner and operator — not a short-term investor. We don’t “flip” businesses or aim for quick financial wins. Instead, we focus on building lasting value over time through steady leadership, operational improvements, and a deep respect for what’s already working.
When we acquire a business, we do so with the intent to hold and grow it for the long haul — because we believe that real, meaningful success takes time, care, and commitment.
Every engagement is unique with a unique timeline. However, we seek to fund and close transactions about 30 to 90 days after a letter of intent is in place.
Every business we acquire has its own strengths, challenges, and needs — which means there’s no one-size-fits-all playbook. Some companies continue operating exactly as they are with no immediate changes. Others may require operational shifts or leadership transitions after the sale.
Our priority is to ensure a smooth, stable transition with as little disruption as possible. We take the time to understand what’s working, where support is needed, and how to preserve the integrity of your team and operations. Any changes we make are thoughtful, aligned with long-term success, and guided by respect for the business you've built.
