What you built deserves the right next owner
For more than 45 years, the Humphrey family has grown North Atlantic by welcoming great companies into the fold. If you’re thinking about the future of yours, we’d like to hear from you.
A buyer that thinks like an owner-operator
Family to family
We’re a family business, not a fund. We understand what it means to hand over something you spent a lifetime building, and we treat it that way.
Your name stays on the door
Cleary, Central Woodwork, Mountain High and others kept their names, teams and local relationships after joining us. Your customers keep dealing with the people they know.
Room to grow
Join a group with manufacturing, purchasing scale, robotic warehousing, digital ordering platforms and shared back-office support behind you.
Is your company a fit?
We look for businesses that would be at home next to our own companies. If you’re not sure, reach out anyway. Some of our best additions didn’t fit a checklist.
- Building products distributors: millwork, doors, windows, stairs and commercial openings
- Appliance retailers and distributors with builder and trade programs
- Manufacturers of doors, stairs, mouldings and custom millwork
- Well-run businesses with a strong local reputation and a team worth keeping
- Owners thinking about succession, retirement or a partner to fund the next stage
