Tricor Pacific Capital, Inc. has launched its diversified investments initiative focused on new acquisition opportunities in middle-market companies in light manufacturing, business & consumer services or specialty retail.
Mark Townsend and Chuck Cosman will co-lead the initiative.
Led by Rod Senft, Tricor was originally established in 1996 as a private equity firm investing its own and institutional capital in mid-market companies. In 2015, the institutional fund management transitioned to Parallel 49 Equity, while Tricor shifted its focus to become a single-family office. Since then, Tricor (in partnership with management) has built Founders Group of Food Companies and Tricor Pacific Lands, while continuing to manage its pre-existing investments.
In addition to Founders, Pacific Lands and Parallel 49 Equity, Tricor’s investments also include Pender West, Premium Brands Holdings Corp. (TSX: PBH), and W.R. Dwan Realcorp.
