What is Cereus?
Cereus Capital Partners is a private equity platform investing in the production, processing, packaging, and distribution of innovative and healthy foods, leveraging state-of-the-art, and sustainable practices. We are investing throughout the food value chain with a focus on processed foodstuffs.
Where is Cereus Investing?
Cereus is investing in North American middle-market companies that source sustainable food products from Latin America throughout the food value chain – from sourcing to processing superfoods that leverage innovative technologies. Our sourcing is focused on the LatAm region including Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, and Central America.
We seek to obtain full or majority control, or join forces with a successful management team, bringing resources needed to execute a sound and proven business plan.
What are our Targets?
Our targets are North America and Latin America based businesses with real assets and with existing customer demand for sustainable products throughout the food value chain. Our targets need to demonstrate a strong sustainable competitive advantage and significant growth potential. Additional acquisitions and roll-ups may be considered to reinforce the global reach of a North America based portfolio company.
