Brix Capital Group

Who We Are

A holding company built at the intersection of capital and craft.

Brix Capital Group is a private holding company that acquires and partners with precision CNC manufacturing businesses, advises industrial operators on growth and exit readiness, and builds the software infrastructure that serves the trade.

We are operators before we are investors. Our team has spent decades on shop floors, in engineering rooms, and at the executive table — which means when we engage, we bring perspective that a spreadsheet can't replicate.

Our approach is partnership-first: we seek to align with owners and operators who want a thoughtful, experienced partner — whether that means full acquisition, a minority stake, or a structured advisory engagement.

Acquisitions & Partnerships

Full acquisitions and minority stakes in CNC precision shops. We bring capital and operational expertise to scale what you've built.

Small Business Advisory

Strategy consulting for manufacturing, construction, and industrial operators preparing to grow — or preparing to exit.

Andonux

A software platform and private CNC shop network built and operated by Brix — connecting precision machining capacity to opportunity.

What We Do

Capital, advisory, and software.
One operating standard.

We engage where we can add the most value — as capital partners, as operational advisors, or as builders. Every engagement is structured around outcomes, not activity.

Primary Focus

CNC Shop Acquisitions & Partnerships

We acquire precision CNC machine shops outright or take minority stakes in businesses where the right partner can accelerate growth. We are not passive investors — we bring operational advisory, business development support, revenue strategy, and hands-on turnaround capability where needed.

Our team's background in aerospace, defense, and high-precision manufacturing means we understand your business at a technical level, not just a financial one. We know how to read a shop floor as well as a P&L.

How We Work

Partnership-first.
Always.

We don't show up with a playbook and a timeline. We show up with our sleeves rolled up, ready to understand your business the way you understand it — from the inside.

Whether we're acquiring, taking a stake, or advising, our process is designed to move at your pace, respect what you've built, and focus on outcomes that matter to you.

We are not consultants who hand you a report and leave. We are operators who stay accountable to results.

Initial Conversation

No pitches, no templates. We start by listening — understanding your business, your goals, and what a successful outcome looks like for you.

Diligence & Discovery

We go deep — financials, operations, customers, team. Our technical background means we evaluate the full picture, not just what's on a CIM.

Structure the Engagement

We propose a structure that fits: full acquisition, minority stake, or an advisory engagement. We're flexible on structure, firm on alignment.

Execute Together

We stay involved. Operations, business development, finance, strategy — we work alongside you, not above you.

Get In Touch

Let's talk about what you're building.

Whether you're considering a sale, looking for a partner to grow, or need a trusted advisor to help clean up and scale — we'd like to hear from you. No commitment required, just a conversation.

Capital, craft, and operational expertise — for the industrial middle market.
