What is a Roll-Up IPO?
A Roll-Up IPO combines or rolls together a number of companies into one holding company. The holding company is then taken public through an Initial Public Offering. 

The basis for a Roll-Up is to target similar business, in highly fragmented industries, whose combined strength can create significant value for investors.  Value is created by harnessing economies-of-scale, expanding local markets, developing international markets, investing in advanced technology, streamlining production and modernizing equipment.
