Joe Schaffer Email and Phone Number

Currently the CEO of Instrument Development Co. (“IDC”) located in Mukwonago, WI. (I currently commute to WI from my home in Zionsville, IN). Instrument Development Co. was founded in 1988 and is a leader in ultra-precision machining for the most critical and complex parts for the Defense Industry. We have a world class customer base that includes Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Honeywell FM&T, DRS, and Northrop Grumman. I took on the role of CEO in 2015 as the Company was going through a significant transition while also experiencing significant growth. As a former portfolio company of my private equity firm, it was not a customary path to the CEO role but it has been a tremendous experience. As CEO, this role has given me an even greater appreciation and education with my operational and investing knowledge well beyond my private equity and finance background at Monument Capital Partners. Previouosly I was a founding partner of Monument Capital Partners which was established in Indianapolis in 1997 and is currently Managing Director and CEO. My primary role at Monument was the overall evaluation, execution and management of acquisitions along with the oversight of ongoing operations of its companies. My Investing and Operating experiences have been established primarily as a result of active management of companies in lower middle market manufacturing, industrial service firms and value added distribution. I was actively involved in the due diligence, acquisition, management, oversight, and disposition of nineteen manufacturing, distribution and industrial service firms. As part of portfolio oversight, I led all treasury functions for each portfolio company along with any corporate finance, acquisition and financing activities.
