Buy Side Advisory
Strategic Industrial Acquisitions- Precisely Executed
At JDPhilips, we help industrial operators, distributors, and investors accelerate growth through disciplined, targeted acquisition strategies. With decades of in-sector experience and direct involvement in more than $1 billion in completed transactions, we bring a practical, operator-focused approach to buy-side M&A that generalist firms simply cannot match.
We know the industrial landscape, the customers, the channels, and the financial drivers — and we use that knowledge to identify and secure high-quality opportunities that fit your strategic and commercial objectives.
Because we’ve operated inside these companies, we understand the nuances that determine success — margin profile, customer concentration, equipment condition, succession readiness, workforce stability, and integration complexity.
