Frequently asked questions
How does SilverMill structure its acquisitions?
SilverMill requires a larger permanent capital structure and uses platform-company vehicles to aggregate niche suppliers. TCP Analytical, formed with PNC Riverarch Capital, is the main platform through which SilverMill makes lab-supply acquisitions — it later brought in Audax Strategic Capital as a co-investor.
What deal types does SilverMill target?
The firm pursues control buyouts and growth-stage investments in companies that provide materials, equipment, and services to the life sciences sector. Its focus is on lab consumables, high-purity chemicals, and custom manufacturing, often acquiring founder-owned businesses and integrating them into larger platforms.
Which sectors does SilverMill explicitly avoid?
SilverMill does not invest in therapeutics discovery, clinical-stage biotech, or healthcare services delivery. It limits its scope to tools and supplies for research and production applications in bioengineering, food safety, in vitro diagnostics, and related technologies.
