Quadrivius INC.
Our Story
Founded by founders who had a vision for the company to be larger than sole flatbed trucking company. Quadrivius name was named to represent the initial four companies, including international operations. Today Quadrivius, which operates with over $1 billion in annual revenue and employs over 1000 employees in 12 countries, still owns the initial companies from its 1991 founding.
Our Companies
What We Look for:
- Strong Business, with persistent demand, limited disruption risk, and strong business cultures.
- We look for strong, aligned management teams that take a longer term view, and desire to continue to run their company. We avoid turnaround situations or investments requiring new leadership/management.
- We desire to partner with owners/managers who seek involvement, want a stake in the future, and are eager to lead their teams to new heights.
Our Advantage
Many strong companies, have high returns, strong cultures, but often lack the opportunities to reinvest their profits at the same high returns within their company or industry. With the Holding company structure, all capital that is not needed within the portfolio company, can be re-deployed at the Holding company level, in industries where there may be larger reinvent opportunities. Quadrivius Inc. is a group of unrelated businesses united by a common purpose. By design, we centralize the control of capital and decentralize managerial operations. Our decentralized structure enables the corporation to scale with a modicum of staff at headquarters, while allowing for the retention of the very people responsible for the success of the acquired companies.
Why Us

Quadrivius is a different type of owner, funded by entrepreneurs who understand the ups-and-downs of operating a business; a firm that has no fixed time horizons and is not subject to the vagaries of the private equity fundraising cycle; a firm that can be flexible in the types of deals it does, the securities it holds, and the risks it takes; and a firm which will help strategically without forcing its operational playbook on its operators.
