WORK WITH US
At Trusta, we build great industrial companies through long-term ownership, decentralised decision-making, and a commitment to quality.
Our philosophy is simple: Trust our people, deliver high quality products, with the best customer service, and protect the legacies of our businesses.
THE TRUSTA WAY
Great long term decisions lead to great long term results
At Trusta we have a 'buy and own forever' philosophy. We believe the best decisions in business are made when we think about the long term. This is only possible with a long term ownership philosophy.
People are at the heart of all businesses
We believe that the core of every business is not its revenue or profit, but its people. At Trusta we look to empower the people within our companies and our businesses are run in a decentralised way. Decisions are made as close to our customers as possible, not at Trusta HQ.
We protect your legacy
Looking after business owner's legacies is at the heart of everything we do. We keep the company name above the door, we keep the location the same, and we will not look to merge companies or talk about 'synergies'. In fact we would go as far to say 'synergies' is a banned word at Trusta Industries.
We are industrial specialists
Everything we do is in the industrial sector. We are experts in our fields and we stick tightly within our circle of competence. This provides a great internal network of industrial specialists that all companies can benefit from.
OUR SERVICES
ACQUISITION CRITERIA
UK Industrial manufacturing or distribution businesses which are B2B
We work with business owners of UK headquartered manufacturing or distribution businesses in the industrial sector.
B2B, or business to business, rather than business to consumer is where we operate.
We get excited by leading companies in small niches
Most companies constantly talk about 'total addressable market' size and focus on very large markets only. At Trusta we do exactly the opposite.
We focus on partnering with market leading companies that are very strong in their niche.
A strong track record is important
We focus on finding great companies and and help to accelerate their growth. We are therefore looking for businesses that have a long term track record of always being profitable.
We like to see gross margins historically above 40%, EBIT greater than £0.5m, and companies with 10 or more people. This is just a guideline though.
