UCG's
Acquisition Strategy
Acquisitions have contributed greatly to UCG's portfolio strategy. We've made over 35 acquisitions through transactions with entrepreneurs and large companies like McGraw-Hill, Pearson, and Bell Canada. We've also acquired a public company and taken it private.
Some acquired companies have fit seamlessly into one of our existing portfolio companies,, while others have launched us into new markets. Our fast-growing Technology, Energy, and Health Information Divisions were all started with acquisitions. More importantly, some of UCG's best people have come here through acquisitions. Owners, company presidents, and staff have stayed on and grown with UCG.
Entrepreneurs who’ve sold to ucg and stayed on to run their company, have been able to leverage ucg’s 34 years of information industry experience to take their company to the next level and beyond. Becoming part of the ucg family means access to content, marketing, IT, sales, and business development expertise. It also means access to capital for add-on acquisitions.
If you are a business owner or intermediary and would like to talk with us about the possibility of acquiring your company, please contact Todd Foreman at 301.287.2366 or Jon Slabaugh at 301.287.2519.
