The Edelweiss Company is a long-term home for North American industrial manufacturing businesses

The Edelweiss flower thrives in the harshest alpine conditions, growing in rocky, wind-swept terrain where few others can survive. Like our investment philosophy, it embodies resilience and patience—flourishing through quiet strength and adaptability.
