BUILDING VALUE FOR CORPORATIONS AND PRIVATE EQUITY
EXPERIENCE, CREATIVITY AND VISION
DRIVING SUCCESS FOR
OUR CLIENT COMPANIES 

Innovation Transformers works with its corporate clients and private equity firms to increase the value of their portfolio companies.

Leveraging our history in product development and business, we use breakthrough innovation to create not only new products, but the business models and support structures needed to commercialize and sustain them.


About us

Innovation Transformers consults with corporations and private equity firms to bring transformational value to target companies and fund portfolios.

We create a profitable tailwind for acquisitions by discerning and determining how to maximize hidden potential of the clients’ assets.

We have deep expertise in invention, commercialization, and management, all of which drive our  Innovative Acquisition Technique, which combines technical innovations with small add-on acquisitions. Those add-ons become launch vehicles for adjacent businesses, and the process helps managers get the higher returns they seek.

We understand the idiosyncrasies of each situation and understand that in every case, gaps need to be filled and issues of timing and technique are sensitive. Our team tailors its deliverables to ensure clients engage in the market with confidence and conviction.


Our Team

Innovation Transformers is a group of specialized professionals with years of experience working together. The group composition may vary slightly for different projects, depending on client needs, but draws from this pool and from an extensive network of other experts that can be tapped as needed.

CLIENTS – CURRENT AND PAST PROJECTS

We develop products and services that can transform industries, bringing new revenue and new profits.


3D Systems Corporation

For more than 10 years, we have been developing 3D printing technology for the leader in the industry.

Our CubifyTM system brought affordable 3D-printing of physical objects to home and desktop users.

Sealed Air / Instapak

Instapak® changed the packaging industry by providing for onsite production of polyurethane packaging materials.

The development moved truckloads of packaging materials to a single set of drums.

The company’s revenues doubled and historically high margins have remained strong and sustainable for the company.

I-Pack® Automated Void-fill Reduction System

The I-Pack®  system disrupted the packaging industry by making a number of existing products obsolete;  the system reduces void space in packages, making them smaller.  Its new to the company pay-per-use business model drove profits, delivering significantly higher margins.

PRIVATE EQUITY

Private equity fund managers increasingly look to innovation to increase portfolio value.

But incremental innovation in an existing market will not generate an increase in valuation for portfolio companies.

Furthermore, organizational obstacles can impede the launch of innovations from within a company, where business is managed very tightly.

Instead, Innovation Transformers uses its Breakthrough Innovation strategy to improve earnings within private equity time frames and increase the multiple of earnings an acquirer will pay on exit.

This technique, in which not only a new product or service is developed, but also the necessary business models and support structures to implement and maintain it, is critical for increasing a company’s competitive profile, thereby attracting more suitors and extending all the hard work on EBITDA performance by applying a higher multiple to the exit transaction.
