CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HC Private Investments (\u201cHCPI\u201d), a Chicago-based private equity firm, announced today the sale of its portfolio company, Epicurean Butter (\u201cEpicurean\u201d), to Solina USA (\u201cSolina\u201d). Terms of the transactions were not disclosed.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nSince partnering with Epicurean\u2019s founders John and Janey Hubschman in 2019, HCPI made significant investments in senior leadership, equipment, facilities and innovation to support the Company\u2019s transformation from a founder-owned business into a scalable platform positioned for long-term growth. Core to these efforts was the recruitment of CEO Stephen Owens, a seasoned food and ingredient executive, whose leadership drove the Company's operational and commercial evolution.<\/p>

\n\u201cIt was a pleasure to work with the Epicurean leadership team and witness the transformation Stephen led from a flavored butter manufacturer into a broader flavoring ingredient solutions provider,\u201d said HCPI Managing Partners John Kelly and Matt Moran. \u201cThis is a great example of HCPI\u2019s ability to harness the resources of our Executive Advisor Partner network to accelerate growth within a founder-led business and generate value over the long-term. We believe Epicurean is well-positioned to continue its momentum under Solina\u2019s ownership.\u201d<\/p>

\n\u201cI am incredibly proud of our team\u2019s ability to deliver innovative offerings that significantly enhance our customers\u2019 flavor profiles through the highest-quality ingredients. Our partnership with HCPI was invaluable as they supported our expansion efforts every step of the way. I look forward to collaborating with Solina to unlock new possibilities for our customers,\u201d added Owens.<\/p>

\nIntegris Partners served as exclusive financial advisors to Epicurean Butter and HC Private Investments with Winston Taylor acting as legal counsel.<\/p>
