About Harbour Group
1976
Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, Harbour Group is a privately held operating company with a nearly five-decade history of acquiring and building value in diverse businesses. Established by Sam Fox in 1976 through the acquisition of a Synthetic Industries, a small poly fibers manufacturer, the firm was built on a foundation of integrity, trust, and the belief that lasting success comes from doing things the right way.
Harbour Group partners with management teams in manufacturing, specialty distribution, and industrial services, combining a disciplined investment culture with active, hands-on operational support. Beyond capital, the firm brings deep expertise in strategy, operations, finance, and human resources, helping companies strengthen customer focus, improve processes, and expand into new markets.
235+
Since inception, Harbour Group has completed more than 235 acquisitions, often in fragmented markets where its experience in building platforms and adding complementary businesses creates enduring value. At every stage, its guiding principle has been to work with honesty, respect, and long-term commitment, ensuring that growth is achieved responsibly and sustainably.
Today, with Jeff Fox as Chairman and CEO, Harbour Group maintains its roots as a family business with integrity, collaboration, and operational excellence as the hallmarks of our enduring success. Harbour Group continues to be recognized as a trusted partner for entrepreneurs, families, and management teams who seek accelerated growth without compromising the culture and legacy of the companies they have built.
