WHY KODIAK

PARTNERING WITH BUSINESSES TO GO FARTHER TOGETHER

Partnering with Kodiak

LOCAL. WE GET IT.
We understand local and respect local. That’s why Kodiak Building Partners keeps management and employees in place each time a new company joins our team. The simple truth is that you know your business, your client base, and your region best. It’s vital to us that your brand remains unchanged, continuing to do what you do best as you operate under the same name while making the decisions you’ve always made to serve your community.

WE’RE OPERATORS
Just like you, we are operators at our core and have a passion for the industries we’re in. We think and talk about the same things you do – commodity prices, tariffs, equipment, customer service, relationships, etc.. We get excited about the same conversations you do. Like you, we know this industry inside and out.

GET RID OF BORING STUFF
One of our key jobs is to reduce the administrative burden of back office stuff. Let’s face it, health insurance programs, 401Ks, property and casualty insurance, finance, accounting – those aren’t exactly fun, but they are necessary and require a lot of time to do them right. As part of Kodiak’s value proposition, you can leave those administrative activities up to us so that your company can do what it does best. Focus on local priorities like building relationships within your community and selling products to the people who have come to rely on you.

What sets Kodiak Building Partners apart from acquisition firms?

IT COMES DOWN TO OUR CORE PRINCIPLES:

Efficiency

We streamline the business side of things—your company’s finances, employee benefits, training and safety programs, IT support, system upgrades and more. This frees up resources so that you have more time to focus on operations at the local level.

Decentralized Culture

We respect local and we believe decision making should remain at the local level. You continue to operate your company with a high degree of autonomy. Day to day decisions that benefit your customers, vendors and employees remain in your hands.

Collaboration

We want to see you succeed and that’s why we offer more than just operational help. Kodiak also provides you and your team with leadership coaching, summits specific to departments like sales, operations and human resources. This includes collaboration with other businesses owned by Kodiak where ideas are shared on how to continually to improve and grow.

Family

When you join us, you become part of our family. Because we are committed to the communities we serve, we actively engage in volunteer and civic activities, and we also help employees in need through the Kodiak Foundation. We understand that your business is a family too. That’s why we believe in you keeping your company name, logo and more importantly, your company culture.

Vision

Building a strong business takes planning and foresight. We plan for the long-term success of your company though strategic investments in you, your employees, and your operations.

When considering potential suitors for my company, the culture and how the employees would be treated were key points for me. Kodiak conveyed that they would leave the culture and local management in place, as that is their model. I am pleased to say that has been the case from day one until now, six years later. My plan was to work for two years after the sale, but here I am six years later still a proud employee of Kodiak. That speaks volumes as to how Kodiak looks at and handles their new companies.
