Graham Partners Breaks the Mold

Graham Partners is a private investment firm focused on investing in businesses with advanced manufacturing know-how, innovative product development capabilities, and strong growth potential. In Scandia's case, significant industry consolidation has created an addressable gap within blow molded plastic packaging, providing significant growth opportunities. The investment thesis for Scandia is predicated upon maintaining the Company's core competencies of quality, technical design, and customer service, and leveraging the extensive packaging experience of Graham Partners to reinforce these strengths.

Scandia joins an established alliance of Graham Partners holdings, which participate in industries as diverse as aerospace, medical products, packaging, water management, building products, electronics, and wireless communications devices, among others. Graham Partners seeks to invest not only capital into these businesses, but also to utilize its longstanding industry knowledge, resources, and contacts to improve operations and promote organic growth.
