Leavitt Industrial Group is a long-term owner and operator of industrial-focused businesses across North America.
Formerly known as Venturis Capital, our organization has spent decades building and investing in strong, service-driven businesses. What began with Leavitt Machinery - now one of North America’s leading material handling companies - has grown into a group of aligned companies that support a broad spectrum of industrial sectors.
This rebrand marks more than a name change. It reflects our evolution from a quiet investor into a clearly defined industrial group, with unified leadership, shared values, and long-term commitment at our core. We are operators first, partners always, and builders at heart.
Our approach is steady and proven. We acquire and support businesses with strong leadership, a people-first culture, and the potential to grow. We work with management to preserve what makes each company exceptional, while strengthening operations with shared systems, financial discipline, and strategic guidance. There is no exit strategy - our timeline is generational, not transactional.
We believe in growing with our people, not just our numbers. Our group is built on trust, earned through performance, and reinforced through consistency. The companies under the Leavitt Industrial Group banner maintain their autonomy, culture, and identity—while gaining the strength and support of something larger.
We are proud of where we’ve been, confident in where we’re going, and clear about who we are. Leavitt Industrial Group represents a name that matches our structure, honors our legacy, and sets the stage for what’s next.
