The company operates out of a 25,000 square-foot plant in Gaylord, Michigan, which has undergone a number of expansions as business increased.
In a statement announcing the deal, Kratos Capital’s principal Josh Bammel said: “Our clients were looking for a partner to provide a liquidity event, while also building future value for this growing business. Union Capital, given their reputation in the food sector, proved to be the best partner.”
No financial terms for the deal were disclosed.
Neither Albie’s nor Union Capital responded to requests from just-food for comments on how the new private-equity owner plans to take the business forward.
