Project Penne
Growth Financing
Our client (the “Company”) is a privately held C-Corp founded in 1994 operating as a commercial pasta and sauce manufacturer. The Company developed a reputation as a producer of the finest quality frozen pasta products based on its ability to match restaurant chefs’ small-batch recipes on a commercial scale. The Company sells its products to regional and national frozen-entree manufacturers and food service distributors. Over the past six months, the Company has emerged from a turn-around process that included (i) reducing platform costs, (ii) recapitalizing its financial position, (iii) successfully executing its sales strategy to become the preferred partner for several national co-manufacturers, (iv) expanding its senior management team with the addition of a COO, Supply Chain Manager, Production Manager, and Controller, and (v) laying the groundwork for the launch of a shelf-stable bottling line that will round out its product offering.
