EBSCO Industries, Inc. :: Acquisitions

EBSCO’s Culture
The most distinguishing characteristic of EBSCO is its culture and acquisition philosophy. Our mission statement is "to grow profitability over the long-term"; therefore, we do not divest our companies. Some buyers have a mission "to grow profitability over the short-term" and then sell the company to make a quick return. As a result, good businesses are often destroyed after several rounds of highly leveraged divestitures. "Being a family business, we were very apprehensive about selling something that we had nurtured for over 20 years. To our extremely pleasant surprise, we have been welcomed as part of a new family that has treated us with integrity, honesty, and a genuine concern for our continued well-being." —General Manager, Summit Treestands "The entire acquisition process was very impressive. You could tell that everyone involved was well prepared to handle their part of the transaction." —General Manager, Tinker Business Forms
