Since our founding in 1988, Vestar has maintained a prudent, long-term approach to investing that has served us well throughout numerous business and economic cycles. We have completed 78 investments, in companies with a total value of more than $40 billion.

We credit much of our success to a strong culture of partnership both within the firm and with our portfolio company management teams. We value transparency and collaborative decision-making. And with four founders continuing to manage the firm, we know first-hand the entrepreneurial spirit that drives our management teams to want to run a business as their own.

Supporting that spirit has been the business of Vestar for over 25 years.
