The freshly-launched private equity fund Bregal Partners has managing partners with storied histories in seafood and a strong desire to maintain the business relationships they have built there.
“Seafood is a strong area of interest given the success that we’ve had in the category,” Managing Partner Scott Perekslis told IntraFish.
“We’ve developed a strong network of friends in the category, so frankly we really enjoy the industry and think that there are a lot of interesting and exciting things about it."
Now Perekslis has a goal to invest $500 million (€377 million) within five years by acquiring a portfolio that represents, as evenly as possible, the food and beverage, health care and energy services sectors.
