AMCO

Working with
business owners
through acquisition, advisory, and operating partnerships.

Acquisition. Operation. Advisory.

AMCO is a privately held management company based in Chicagoland.

We acquire, operate, and grow established small and midsize businesses with hands-on leadership and a long-term approach to ownership. We look for durable demand, strong customer relationships, and opportunities to build on what owners have created.

We preserve what works, strengthen operations, invest in people, and use technology thoughtfully. Through operating partnerships and selective strategic and operational advisory work, we also help owners and leadership teams solve problems, improve performance, and put growth plans into action.
