Rosenthal Provides $1.2MM Revolving ABL Facility to Partner Foods

Rosenthal & Rosenthal completed a joint $1.2 million revolving asset-based lending facility to support Partner Foods Group, a domestic specialty foods importer and distributor. 

Founded in 2019, Partner Foods Group is an importer, marketer and distributor of specialty, health and organic foods, with sales topping $10 million. The company’s portfolio of brands now includes Monari Federzoni, a large seller of balsamic vinegar; Allegro marinades; Bongiorno organic vinegar drinks; WaterBox, an eco-friendly boxed water brand; Evolution Salt, a Himalayan salt company; and Monini, an Italian olive oil company. Partner Foods Group represents brands on an exclusive basis, selling direct to retail customers like Walmart and Safeway, as well as to a network of wholesale specialty food distributors, including United Natural Foods and KeHE.

Already familiar with Rosenthal from a previous relationship, Partner Foods Group CFO Barry O’Brien approached Rosenthal to explore alternative financing solutions that would support the company’s growing needs. Rosenthal stepped in to provide a $1.2 million revolving credit facility with advances on accounts receivable and inventory to support the company’s growth.

“We are so pleased to team up with Partner Foods Group and their incredibly talented management team as they continue their efforts to expand their portfolio of brands and focus on the future,” Robert Schnitzer, senior vice president at Rosenthal & Rosenthal, said. “This loan structure is a wonderful example of how Rosenthal approaches all of our transactions — thoughtfully and creatively — with practical financing solutions that offer our clients maximum value, stability and flexibility so they can focus on growing their business.”

“We are thankful to again work with Robert and the Rosenthal team. Their professionalism, knowledge, focus and flexibility made our choice an easy one. The loan structure was tailored perfectly to our needs and enables our company to continue to expand and grow. We highly recommend Rosenthal and look forward to working together,” O’Brien said.
