The Cold Springs Equity Approach to Value

Cold Springs Equity is a private, operator-led holding company dedicated to the acquisition and sustained growth of established businesses in Northeast Ohio. We partner with founders and retiring owners to facilitate smooth, well-capitalized transitions. Our focus is on:

• Operational Excellence: Leveraging decades of experience in P&L management, systems modernization, and organizational strategy to enhance stability and profitability.
