American Securities

American Securities LLC—originally named American Securities Capital Partners (ASCP) 1994 - 2008—is a leading U.S. private equity firm—based in New York with an office in Shanghai—that invests in market-leading North American companies with annual revenues generally ranging from $200 million to $2 billion and/or $50 million to $200 million of EBITDA. American Securities and its affiliates have approximately $15 billion under management. American Securities traces its roots to a family office founded in 1947 by William Rosenwald, the son of Julius Rosenwald (August 12, 1862 – January 6, 1932). Julius Rosenwald was an American businessman and philanthropist. He is best known as a part-owner and leader of Sears, Roebuck and Company, and for establishing the Rosenwald Fund, which donated millions in matching funds to support the education of African American children in the rural South, as well as other philanthropic causes in the first half of the 20th century. He was also the principal founder and backer for the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, to which he gave more than $5 million and served as President from 1927 to 1932.
