SC&H Capital, a leading investment bank specializing in M&A advisory for middle-market companies, is pleased to announce that its clients, Dutch Gold Honey (“Dutch Gold”) and the related businesses of McLure’s Honey & Maple Products, Gamber Container Company, The Bacon Jug Company and DGH Logistics, have been acquired by New Water Capital, a private equity firm focused on investing in lower-middle market companies in the consumer products and industrial manufacturing and services sectors.
“SC&H Capital was an invaluable resource throughout this process, providing industry insights and helpful M&A perspective every step of the way,” said Nancy Gamber, President of Dutch Gold and Gamber Container. “The SC&H team was critical in helping the Gamber family choose an excellent partner in New Water Capital. The Gamber family could not be happier with SC&H and with the outcome.”
Dutch Gold is a leading provider of ambient ingredients and food products, including honey and maple products, to customers including iconic brands, restaurants and foodservice operators, big box grocery retailers and institutional customers. Dutch Gold honey is used in a variety of products, such as salad dressings, cereals, yogurt, and sauces.
Gamber Container, a national distributor of empty containers and closures, and DGH Logistics, a transportation company, were originally part of Dutch Gold Honey. Both were eventually established as independent companies as their business expanded. McLure’s Honey & Maple Products and The Bacon Jug Company were acquired by Dutch Gold Honey in 1997. The companies have been owned and operated by the Gamber family since its founding in 1946, and will continue to be led by President Nancy Gamber.
“SC&H is proud to have served as the advisor to Dutch Gold, Gamber Container and the related entities on this transaction,” said Matt Roberson, Managing Director at SC&H Capital. “We continue to see high demand for industry leaders in the food, beverage and ingredient space, like Dutch Gold and Gamber Container. The Gamber family built an exceptional business over two generations of ownership, and we are excited to see how their partnership with New Water Capital will propel the Company to even greater successes during this next chapter.”
New Water Capital’s experience in the food and beverage industry will allow the Companies to build on the long legacy of providing customers with the best quality products in the industry.
