Based in Chicago, Red Arts Capital is a leading investment firm focused on North American-based supply chain and industrial businesses. Our objective is to invest in privately-owned, primarily family-owned and multi-generational businesses with solid business fundamentals and a strong track record and reputation.

The supply chain is a category intimately familiar to us, and leverages our personal and professional backgrounds. We believe the sectors’ long-term stability, broad scale and fragmented landscape make it an attractive area for building and growing durable businesses.
