Industry: Manufacturing – Pasta

Location: Libertyville, IL

Client: Foulds

The DVS Group’s Role: Capital Markets Advisory

The Deal:
Established in 1885, Foulds is a leading pasta manufacturer producing major national retail brands, food service products, and a range of natural and organic offerings, supported by an experienced production team and traditional, quality-driven processes. The DVS Group initially approached Foulds as part of a buy-side search for a client seeking a controlling interest acquisition; however, when those objectives did not align, Foulds engaged The DVS Group to assist in restructuring its debt. With the company’s existing lender unwilling to accommodate the restructuring, The DVS Group approached multiple financial institutions and ultimately secured a new lending partner that provided an optimal combination of bank size, favorable terms, and access to growth capital to support future contracts.
