OUR EXPERIENCE

We invest and provide capital for private BC companies seeking a change of ownership and a management transition plan.

The core of our experience lies in transitioning businesses from an owner-manager situation to one with new management team ownership.

We have invested in Western Canada for over 15 years - providing capital and leadership for a number of private companies in different industries including manufacturing, distribution, and industrial and commercial services businesses.

For almost 40 years Fasteel has helped organizations in the fabrication, manufacturing, construction, transportation, utilities, forestry and numerous other sectors operate more efficiently and profitably by providing leading steel sales and service. Fasteel’s team combines product knowledge, customer contact and a service focus to make our customers' operations run leaner. Fasteel’s customers get the steel they need, when they need it.

Sedulus acquired Fasteel in 2017 in partnership with management.
