profusion nfPeak Rock Capital has formed ProFusion Industries to acquire the industrial products division of RJF International Corporation.

“We are pleased to support ProFusion Industries and its employees in building a leading manufacturer and distributor of polymer-based products, with an impressive reputation for exceptional manufacturing capabilities and customer loyalty,” said Anthony DiSimone, CEO of Peak Rock Capital. “ProFusion Industries is a great example of our interest in carving out manufacturing divisions where we can drive revenue growth and profit improvement by working with management to optimize the company’s strategy and operations.”

Peak Rock Capital makes debt and equity investments of $20 million to $150 million in middle market companies with revenues from $50 million to $1 billion and enterprise values from $25 million to $500 million. Sectors of interest include business and commercial services; consumer; distribution and logistics; energy and related services; healthcare; industrials; manufacturing, metals, and media.

“ProFusion Industries has an impressive array of manufacturing capabilities that are driven by its experienced and talented workforce. As an independent entity, the company and its employees will be able to ignite future growth by focusing on their specialized products and pursuing attractive opportunities in their markets, without the constraints of operating as a division within a larger organization,” said Robert Strauss, Managing Director of Peak Rock Capital.
