WELCOME TO CREO CAPITAL PARTNERS
Our approach
Since 2005, CREO Capital Partners has completed over 20 middle market transactions with a focus on family/founder owned businesses that have a unique competitive advantage.
“CREO invested in my family business nearly ten years ago, and today our business has tripled in size and we’re having more fun every day. CREO has done everything that they said they would do to support us, and more.”
Doug Clendenning is the founder of a portfolio company in which CREO Capital Partners Management LLC (“CREO”) previously invested through one or more of the funds it manages. Mr. Clendenning was not compensated for recommending CREO, and does not have any material conflicts of interest as a result of his relationship with CREO.

REPRESENTATIVE INVESTMENTS
Some of the businesses we are proud to be associated with
Insignia International
In 2012, CREO Capital Partners combined many of its most successful investments in the food sector into one parent company, Flagship Food Group. Today, Insignia International, as it is now known, is a diversified food company with operations in branded retail, food service, private label, and food logistics.
505 Southwestern®
CREO Capital Partners acquired the 505 Southwestern® brand from its founder in 2008 and since has funded significant capital to build a new production facility, invest in heavy marketing and new product development, and expand distribution globally. Today, 505 is sold from London to Los Angeles, is one of the fastest-growing salsa and green chile brands in the USA, and has grown 8x since CREO’s acquisition. We are also proud that that founder of 505 remains a shareholder today and is actively involved in certain aspects of promoting the brand.
Atlantic Foods Group (Flagship Europe)
In 2013, CREO closed on its first investment outside of the USA, acquiring UK-based Atlantic Foods Group, LTD. Since 2013, CREO led three acquisitions in Europe to form Flagship Europe, which it sold to OSI Group, Inc. in 2016. Europe remains a target market for CREO.
