“We wanted to scale the business beyond our current capacity without destroying the family culture we spent decades building.”
Tell us about Rudolph Industries and its history.
Rudolph Industries is the recognized leader in knife manufacture and injector needles for the global food processing industry. Over the past six decades, Rudolph has worked closely with the most sophisticated food processing plants in the world, developing a premier line of bowl cutter knives, specialty slicing knives, and injector needle products.
What made you choose Permanent as the new owner?
We liked Permanent's long-term perspective and their promise to develop the company without artificial exit timelines. We spoke to traditional private equity firms, but their 5-year flip mentality didn't align with our values.
Permanent had a deep understanding of the industrial space, and they offered a high degree of autonomy. The long-term future of our staff was an incredibly important part of our decision.
How has it been to work under Permanent's ownership?
Permanent has been absolutely true to their word. Our continued growth has accelerated. We have invested in major new machinery and brought on additional people to help super-charge our growth. Permanent gives our local management high autonomy, and day-to-day operations feel exactly the same as before, just with a much stronger financial backbone.
