Windjammer Capital Investors has announced the acquisition of Hilco Vision in partnership with management.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. As a result of the transaction, Blue Point Capital Partners has exited Hilco Vision, PE Hub Network noted.
Based in Plainville, MA, Hilco is a distributor of optical products and accessories to opticians, optometrists and ophthalmologists.
“Windjammer is an ideal partner for Hilco,” said Hilco CEO Ross Brownlee. “The combination of their successful track record investing in specialty distribution businesses like ours, the value-added resources they bring, and our shared objective to deliver even greater value to our customers and investors makes us confident that we will be able to execute our growth plan during this next stage of the Company’s development.”
Matt Anderson, managing director at Windjammer, said, “The breadth of Hilco’s product offerings and value-added services represent a differentiated value proposition for its customers, which is clearly reflected in the Company’s leading market position and its long-tenured customer relationships.”
