Chenmark is a family-owned and employee-owned team of small businesses committed to each other and to the constant pursuit of better.

We acquire businesses from retiring owners and current entrepreneurs with an emphasis on preserving legacies and positioning companies for long-term success. Chenmark companies share a commitment to Chasing Better, Keeping Score, Playing the Long Game, and Putting the Team First. We are not a private equity firm or a typical financial investor. We are proven owner-operators providing a permanent destination for great businesses.
