KANSAS CITY, Mo. (PRWEB) September 16, 2022
CPC, LLC, announced that it has completed the acquisition of Component Sourcing International (CSI), based in Charlotte, NC, from the company's current management team and Argosy Capital. Founded in 1982, CSI offers global supply chain solutions, as it specializes in world-class global sourcing, engineering, quality assurance, and inventory management of highly engineered components for industrial manufacturers. The company will continue to be led by its current management team, many of whom continue as owners.
CSI is the second acquisition for CPC, LLC, a company formed to buy, build, and hold businesses with a long-term, indefinite, time horizon. "It's been clear from our first conversation that CSI's focus on quality and its unique controls around it allows CSI to provide a differentiated service for companies seeking a partner to manage their complicated supply chains. As new owners, we are buying this business to build it and keep it for the long term, with no intention to sell in the foreseeable future, much less the typical 5 to 7-year time horizon typical for Private Equity Groups," commented Wiley Curran, Chairman of CPC.
"We believe an investment and partnership with CPC will position us for long-term stability and continued growth well into the future," explained John Hornberger, CEO of CSI. John believes the acquisition brings resources and expertise laser-focused on technology, product differentiation and nothing less than world-class processes within the organization. John shared that "our Team deeply aligns with CPC on the keys to success, and I am excited to continue to be an owner in the future of this great business."
About CPC CPC makes long term investments and is organized as a company, not around funds like many traditional Private Equity firms. The structure that enables CPC to implement what we believe to be the best strategies to create defensible, long-term value aligning the incentives of shareholders, management, and all stakeholders in CPC's businesses. Sustainable competitive advantage derives from long-term investments in innovation, workforce development, the adoption of new technologies, and supply chain improvements.
CPC has many unique traits that we believe differentiates it from traditional private equity firms. CPC is owned by large family offices and successful entrepreneurs that are collectively aligned around long-term decision making and wealth creation. CPC was formed from the merging of Curran Companies' and C3 Capital's management teams. CPC seeks to deploy at least $500MM into lower middle market businesses over the next five years. It does not use enterprise leverage to fund acquisitions, instead focusing management teams to excel in what CPC calls the Five Key Battles: People, Systems and Processes, Execution, Customer Intimacy, and Product Leadership. Prior to forming CPC, the management team has invested in over 100 businesses covering a wide variety of industries.
