Caledonia Group Inc. is a consulting firm that works exclusively with private equity firms and hedge funds, and the management teams at their portfolio companies. Over the past decade, Caledonia has completed more than 200 due diligence, assessment, enterprise improvement, and transition engagements in a broad range of industries and enterprise sizes throughout the United States and abroad. 

Caledonia engagements are driven by “lean” principles. Lean, customized by Caledonia for the sponsor world, is the best-in-class method of driving value creation.  It improves performance in all areas of the business, dramatically increasing EBITDA and reducing capital requirements. By driving world-class quality and delivery, it facilitates growth and enhances pricing. If the company has a reason to exist, there’s no reason not to be lean.

Detroit-based Caledonia was founded in 1991 with a vision to provide services to sponsors, from screening deals to realization, and to provide financial and operating expertise to their portfolio companies with the goal of accelerating value creation throughout the whole range of the enterprise’s value stream.

Caledonia has 15 full-time consultants including operating executives with years of experience in implementing lean and financial executives who are experts in lean business systems including costing and IT.
