About Us
Our roots
Zynik began with a simple belief our founder, Iqbal Kassam, learned early: show up, do the work well, and take care of the people who make the work possible. What started with one owner-operator grew into a family organization built on permanent ownership. From the beginning, we bought carefully, operated responsibly, and held businesses for the long term so people and communities could thrive.
Who we are today
We are permanent owners of skilled-labor manufacturing businesses. We buy to keep. There is no exit clock. Sellers get a steady, succession-friendly handover. Associates keep their jobs and culture. We invest in people, safety, and modern operations. As a family-owned organization, we bring patient capital, practical help, and a long horizon. Our aim is simple: strong companies, good jobs, lasting impact.
Our Core Beliefs
We believe in honoring legacies
And that each of the companies in our portfolio bring with them unique histories which we work to preserve ensuring their unique cultures endure.
We believe that Skilled Trades are essential to our collective future
And that associates in these fields deserve meaningful, lifelong career paths.
We believe success is accelerated through innovation
And innovation thrives in environments where there’s passion for curiosity and the courage to embrace new ideas.
We believe people are our greatest asset
And we back that belief with lasting investments in their growth, well-being, and success.
We believe in lifelong learning
Success belongs to the individuals and companies that embrace a growth mindset. We believe that abilities and talents develop over time through learning, experience, mentorship, and persistence.
We believe in creating lasting value
Our highest mission is to leave a positive mark on everything we touch. We know our legacy in time will be defined by the lasting impact we create within our companies, communities, and people.
Family ownership, real advantages
Why our family ownership matters
Being family-owned with permanent capital changes how we operate. We buy to keep. We make decade-long decisions, not quarter-to-quarter moves. For sellers, that means a calm handover and a safe home for your people.
- Succession, not disruption: steady ownership with no exit clock
- People first: investment in safety, learning, and well-being
- Culture preserved: jobs stay local and what works, stays
- Long-term upgrades: modern operations and capabilities over time
- Built to endure: we hold through cycles and keep improving
