Altamont Capital Partners, a middle market private equity firm focused on making long term investments, today announced that its portfolio company, Colorado Boxed Beef, a leading national provider of protein products, has merged with Quirch Foods, creating a leading U.S. distributor and exporter of protein and ethnic food products. Altamont originally invested in CBBC in 2017 and will retain an equity stake.
Founded in 1975, CBBC began as a protein supplier for the southeastern region of the U.S. and has since grown to become one of the leading suppliers of protein products across the country. With more than 1.4 million square feet of distribution space, CBBC has both a national and international footprint with facilities in Florida, Georgia, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington. With Altamont's support, the Company has significantly expanded its product offering and reach through both organic growth and complementary acquisitions.
