Retained search for senior leadership across industrial distribution, building products, capital equipment, and industrial services. We place commercial, operations, and general-management leaders who scale margins, networks, and service across the industrial economy.
The industrial economy runs on distribution networks, channel relationships, aftermarket service, and cyclical capital demand. It is distinct from the plant floor: where our Manufacturing practice places production leadership, our Industrial practice places the commercial and general-management leaders who run distributors, building-products companies, equipment makers, and industrial services firms. We work across ownership structures, from family-owned operators to PE-backed platforms. Founder-led, retained, with sector understanding built over decades.
Industrial leadership turns on channel, margin, and service as much as throughput. We place senior leadership across the bench in industrial businesses, under the same retained, founder-led model.
Finance leadership across cost, capital, and margin for distributors, building-products, and industrial-services firms.
People leadership for multi-site industrial operators managing workforce and safety culture.
Technology and systems leadership for industrial firms modernizing operations and distribution.
Environment, health, and safety leadership across industrial sites and field operations.
Supply chain leadership across sourcing, distribution, and logistics for industrial operators.
…and the leaders who report into each of these functions.
Industrial is not one market. Channel structure, capital intensity, and leadership requirements differ sharply across sectors. We place senior leadership across each.
Distributors and wholesalers serving industrial end markets. Leadership where branch networks, vendor relationships, and margin discipline are decisive.
Manufacturers and suppliers of building products and materials. Leadership balancing production, channel, and exposure to construction cycles.
Makers of industrial equipment and machinery. Leadership where engineering depth, capital cycles, and aftermarket service shape the business.
Maintenance, repair, and operations services across industrial end markets. Leadership focused on field execution, contracts, and recurring revenue.
Industrial is a dedicated vertical at MGP, distinct from our Manufacturing practice. We place commercial and general-management leadership across distribution, building products, equipment, and services.
The founder personally manages every senior industrial engagement, from intake call through offer acceptance. No hand-offs to junior associates.
From distribution networks to aftermarket service, we understand how channel, margin, and operations shape who can lead. The slate reflects that reality.
The largest firms in our industry operate under recruiting restrictions that limit where they can source. We do not. Your search reaches further.
We place senior leadership across industrial distribution and wholesale, building products and materials, capital equipment and machinery, and industrial services and MRO companies.
Our Manufacturing practice focuses on production and plant-floor leadership. Our Industrial practice covers the broader sector around it: distribution and wholesale, building products, capital equipment, and industrial services, with commercial and general-management leadership.
Most retained industrial engagements close within 90 to 120 days. Multi-site or specialized commercial roles can take longer. We prioritize the right cultural and operational fit over speed.
Distributors, building-products companies, equipment makers, and industrial services firms across ownership structures: family-owned operators, private equity portfolio companies, and public companies. Most engagements come at inflection: acquisition integration, channel expansion, or leadership succession.
Across the United States and Europe. Our practice spans saturated metros and regional markets alike, with particular strength in companies operating outside the largest urban centers.
Yes. MGP operates exclusively on a retained model: one search at a time per function. You will not compete with another client for the same candidate pool.
