Based in Southern California, Harwick Partners is an operationally focused investment firm that acquires leading family/founder owned food and beverage companies with entrepreneurial cultures, including grocery stores, food brands, food & beverage packaging companies, and POP displays located in food retail environments. Our mission is to support the UN Sustainable Development Goal of creating a world free of hunger by 2030. A Hope Survey indicated that 29% of U.S. college students are food insecure, which is defined as the inability to consistently secure reliable nutritious meals. We aim to acquire great businesses in both the Food & Packaging sectors, optimize operations where applicable, and pass on those efficiency savings to consumers, directly improving the cost to serve within the food industry.
