ELF Capital supports the Berlin-based diversified brands group Private Pier Industries with a flexible financing package of more than 20 million euros. The long-term financing is structured as flexible solution and offers strong entrepreneurial discretion. As a result, Private Pier Industries has enough leeway to fully capture its growth opportunities laying ahead and accelerate growth across all verticals. Private Pier Industries markets the dog food brand Irish Pure, the whiskey brands Grace O’Malley Whiskey and Proclamation Whiskey, and the fashion label Lemanjá. With this transaction, ELF Capital once again proves to be a long-term and reliable financing partner for owner-led companies. In Germany alone, ELF Capital has already completed four transactions in the past twelve months. ELF founding partner Christian Fritsch said: “We are very pleased to support Private Pier Industries with our flexible capital that best accounts for the requirements of the business and all stakeholders. Private Pier Industries is an excellent example of owner-led companies where our capital can pave the way to strong growth and significant value creation.” Stefan Hansen, Co-Founder of Private Pier Industries, said: ” ELF was clearly our partner of choice and offered us the best tailored financing package to further accelerate the growth of our business. ELF’s reliability, speed and entrepreneurial approach have proven invaluable. We are very much looking forward to working with ELF in the years to come.”
