Sept. 03, 2025 – As reported by Mergers & Acquisitions Magazine, CREO Capital Partners is sharpening its M&A strategy in food logistics, underscored by its recent acquisition of Bova Fresh. The Boca Raton-based procurement and logistics firm brings a network of more than 300 suppliers and a client base of over 250 retail and foodservice customers, adding scale and synergies across CREO’s existing food portfolio. “The supply chain for certain industries, including food, is very fragmented,” said Matthew Finnerty, director at CREO. “We’re looking for industries where logistics are a critical value add and asset-light businesses can drive durable growth.” The Bova Fresh deal highlights CREO’s focus on fragmented sectors where logistics challenges, such as shelf life and technical barriers, create opportunities for durable, high-value platforms. With more than $1.5 billion raised across five funds and 20-plus transactions since 2005, CREO continues to seek founder-led companies and strategic acquisitions that can build integrated, resilient food logistics platforms.
