Thackery Partners

We acquire and operate closely held Texas businesses that make durable, tangible things — and we keep them running the way they were built to run.

Who We Are

Owner-operators, not a fund.

Thackery Partners acquires and operates Texas businesses. That's the whole job — we're not a fund, there's no fund clock, no committee, and no plan to resell. When we buy a company, we intend to own it permanently.

Acquiring operating businesses is what we know: we've bought them, we run them every day, and we understand what a Texas fabrication or installation company is actually worth — because we operate two of them. Our companies run independently under their own names, their own leadership, and their own hard-earned reputations. We provide capital, systems, and patience — not interference.

The Portfolio

Two companies. Decades of work that speaks for itself.

National Stage Equipment Co.

USA Canvas

What We Buy

Businesses built to last.

How We Transact

Straight answers, flexible structures, and a close that actually happens.

We are the decision-makers. You deal directly with the owners. No investment committee, no financing contingency theater.

We move at your pace and tell you the truth early. If a deal isn't a fit, we say so in days, not months.

We structure around the seller. Cash at close, seller notes, earnouts, transition periods — whatever serves the outcome you're working toward.

Your name and your people stay. Our companies keep their identities. That's the model, not a talking point.

Brokers & Owners

Send us the deal others overlook.

We review every opportunity sent to us and respond to every one — quickly. If you represent a business that fits, or you own one and are thinking about what comes next, we'd like to hear from you.
