Brookside Capital Partners is pleased to announce a successful exit from FCA. Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Moline, IL, FCA is an industry-leading designer and manufacturer of highly-customized and highly-engineered protective transport packaging solutions for heavy duty applications.
In December 2014, Brookside Capital Partners provided second lien debt and an equity co-investment to facilitate the acquisition of FCA by Delos Capital, a NYC-based private equity firm. Over the investment period, Brookside Capital Partners made several follow-on investments to support growth, including a unitranche debt investment in January 2021 to recapitalize the business and support a significant acquisition.
“Brookside Capital Partners was an important financing partner for us and their support helped fuel the growth of FCA,” said Willard Debruyn, Partner of Delos Capital.
“We were delighted to have been selected by Delos Capital and have the opportunity to work with and support them and the FCA management team in achieving significant organic and acquisitive growth over the last eight years,” said Neil Shah, Partner of Brookside Capital Partners. “This investment was an attractive outcome for our limited partners, and we wish the FCA team continued success.“
