Partnership-First Approach

We invest in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors in North America. We are interested in manufacturing, retail, distribution and consumer goods and services businesses that serve these sectors.

Our investment focus encompasses various areas, including identifying and unlocking value in under-developed businesses through consolidation and scaling them to meet the rising demand within the ethical (e.g., halal, organic, Kosher, etc.) and ethnic (e.g., Middle East, Hispanic, Asian subcontinent, etc.) food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics sectors. These opportunities have been largely overlooked, however, and remain one of few fragmented global sectors ripe for consolidation.

Orchard Way Capital believes that numerous companies exist within these sectors that provide compelling investment and value creation opportunities as a result of:

• sector consolidation;

• financial, managerial and operational support;

• market forces or generational or management succession issues currently curtailing growth; and,

• financial sponsorship to facilitate growth.

Partnering with talented portfolio company management with properly aligned incentives to achieve optimal outcomes is central to Orchard Way Capital’s investing philosophy.
