Borer Denton & Associates

Mark Borer and James Denton make all investment decisions jointly. Borer handles financial structuring and negotiations, while Denton oversees operational due diligence and frequently steps into executive roles at portfolio companies. There are no outside investment committee members.

Both principals were involved in restructuring Foster Wheeler, the engineering and construction conglomerate, in the early 2000s. The firm's founding capital came from the advisory fees and equity gains realized during that turnaround. The office was established after their exit from the company.

The firm targets industrial and manufacturing businesses that are underperforming or orphaned within larger corporate structures. Sectors include engineered components, power generation equipment, and precision machining. The common thread is operational complexity that deters financial buyers without turnaround expertise.
