Mike Schoenfeld was introduced to Maxwell Street Capital partners while fronting a carve-out business for OIA. During this time, Maxwell Street was also buying a company in Iowa named The Integration Group (TIG). While a deal between Maxwell Street and OIA never came together, they became increasingly impressed with Schoenfeld’s ability to lead and grow a private equity-backed company.
Ultimately, Maxwell Street and their other investment partners brought Schoenfeld in to lead TIG in February of 2024 as an independent consultant and interim chief executive officer. In July of 2024, he was appointed to the chief executive officer position by the board of directors.
“Mike has a track record of building organizations for growth, and he has seen this success throughout his entire career,” said his colleagues. “Since shifting from supply chain software to third-party logistics in the latter half of his career, there is not a significant function of 3PL that Mike hasn’t led – he’s built sales and marketing teams, developed solutions organizations, led large operations teams and even IT and business applications groups.”
TIG provides outsourced logistics services, including warehousing, inventory sourcing and management, kitting, assembly and light manufacturing. TIG does business with some of the largest manufacturers in automotive, industrial, and agricultural industries, such as John Deere, AGCO and General Motors.
Looking forward, Schoenfeld said, with the help of the firm’s investors, TIG is expanding its solution portfolio to include large, complex distribution operations. Over the next five years, TIG hopes to approach or pass the half of billion-dollar mark in revenue and firmly establish itself as a nationwide provider of distribution center operations combined with value-added services such as kitting, assembly and light manufacturing across industries.
According to Schoenfeld, “My passion is our people, and each week I spend time on the floors of the warehouses, speaking with teammates about their daily challenges,” he said. “I learn so much about what we are doing right and how we can improve from our front-line employees.”
Schoenfeld runs small focus group meetings and hosts town hall sessions where employees are encouraged to ask questions or share their thoughts. “These sessions build trust in our leaders and help form relationships on a more personal level than just video or memo-style communication,” he said.
In addition to his role as chief executive officer, Schoenfeld is currently president of the board of education and has served as a volunteer coach. He has been a commencement speaker three times and has been a guest speaker on multiple occasions at his alma mater, Carroll University.
