What AIM Investment Group buys
AIM Investment Group is a privately owned industrial holding company in Dallas. It is not a traditional fund: it buys operating businesses and talks about owning them for the long term. Its January 2026 announcement describes holdings across metal recycling, manufacturing, industrial real estate and industrial services. Its website shows three companies: AIM Recycling, a scrap metal recycler with yards across East Texas; Micro Forms, a precision metal stamping shop in Garland, Texas; and Easy Recycling, a metal removal and processing contractor.
AIM publishes no revenue, EBITDA or check size criteria. The best guide is Micro Forms, which began in 1967 as a family machine shop and now runs more than 20 presses. AIM worked with it for over five years before buying it, and it kept its name and stayed a standalone company. In that announcement AIM invited owners interested in a long-term partnership or transition to get in touch. AIM Recycling has also grown by opening new yards, including Quinlan in April 2025 and Atlanta, Texas in July 2025.

Greymont’s take
How AIM Investment Group fits a seller
AIM suits the owner of an industrial, metal or recycling business, most likely in Texas, who wants a long-term owner rather than a buyer planning a quick resale. The Micro Forms deal is the clearest example: AIM knew the company for more than five years, kept its name and structure, and described the purchase as backing a well-run business, not fixing one. A scrap metal owner may also find a natural fit with AIM Recycling's yards and roll-off service.
AIM is private and publishes almost nothing about its size or capital, so an owner should ask how a purchase would be funded and what stake AIM would take. It is also fair to ask what happens to staff and the company name, and whether the business would stay standalone or be folded into an existing AIM company.
Questions owners ask
Is AIM Investment Group a private equity fund?
It describes itself as a privately owned investment group and a diversified industrial holding company. It buys operating companies, talks about long-term ownership, and publishes no fund, assets under management or investor details.
Does AIM Investment Group own recycling companies?
Yes. Its website shows AIM Recycling, which runs scrap yards across East Texas along with roll-off and industrial metal services. Nate Ungarean is named as CEO of AIM Recycling and as Managing Partner of AIM Investment Group. We found no announced purchase of another recycler.
What happens to a company after AIM Investment Group buys it?
In the Micro Forms deal, the company kept its name and structure and stayed a standalone operation with added long-term investment support. One deal is a short record, so an owner should confirm this for their own business.
