Buy-side advisory

New York – Alantra has acted as financial advisor to SK Capital Partners, New York-based private investment firm focused on the specialty ingredients, material sciences and life sciences sectors, on the acquisition of Brothers International Food Holdings, LLC, a leading global provider of natural fruit ingredients and products for the food and beverage industry, from Benford Capital Partners.

SK Capital has taken a controlling stake in Brothers in partnership with founder Travis Betters, who will continue to serve as President and CEO and retain significant ownership in the Company. Mr. Betters founded Brothers in 2001, and together with a strong management team, has built the Company into a scaled, full-service provider of hard-to-source natural fruit ingredients and products, connecting a global network of growers, processors and manufacturers across all food and beverage channels.

Headquartered in Rochester, New York, Brothers specializes in supplying tropical and exotic fruit concentrates and purees from more than thirty countries of origin. The Company serves as a key link in the global fruit ingredient supply chain, providing integrated sourcing, distribution, and value-added development solutions.

Michael Poerschke, Partner at Alantra, said: “This transaction highlights Brothers’ distinctive position in the global fruit ingredients value chain and marks an important step in securing the right partner for its next phase of growth. We are pleased to have supported SK Capital on this transaction, building on our prior collaboration on the divestiture of Florachem last year.”

This transaction reinforces Alantra’s growing track record of working with leading financial sponsors in the food ingredients space, both as clients and counterparties. The firm has recently advised SK Capital Partners on the sale of Florachem to Tradebe Life Sciences, Maple Donuts on its sale to Swander Pace Capital, and Ambienta on the acquisition of Agronova from Magnum Industrial Partners and the founding Casanova family.
