Swander Pace Capital completes sale of Wayne pickle manufacturer Patriot Pickle to H.I.G. Capital

Patriot Pickle, a Swander Pace Capital company, has been sold to an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital.

Since being acquired by SPC in April 2021, Patriot Pickle has benefited from significant investments in sales and operational infrastructure while completing two transformative acquisitions that have further strengthened the pickled and fermented foods platform and set the stage for even further growth.

“It was a pleasure to work with the Patriot Pickle team. The team’s hard work and dedication have enabled a fantastic result and are a great example of SPC’s ability to partner with a founder to help accelerate growth and value,” Corby Reese and Tyler Matlock, managing directors at SPC, said.

“Managing the complexity and intensity of rapidly growing businesses is hard work, but partnering with Swander Pace Capital made this process easier, and we had fun along the way. SPC’s strategic perspective, network and broader insights were key enablers of the team’s success,” Bill McEntee, CEO of Patriot Pickle, said.

Patriot Pickle is a leading pickle manufacturer based in Wayne and Garland, Texas. For almost 20 years, Patriot Pickle has manufactured and shipped fresh, high-quality pickles across the U.S. to thousands of restaurants, delis, supermarkets and distributors.
