Business Description
Interfilm is a precision convertor of synthetic films operating five facilities throughout the U.S. The company serves a diverse customer base in end markets that include flexible packaging, labels and graphics, folding carton and envelope windows and various industrial applications. Interfilm also operates a specialty brushed film division under the name Brushfoil.
Background
The transaction was completed as a strategic investment through Transilwrap Company, Inc. Nicolet Capital had developed a proactive acquisition strategy reviewing over 50 transactions on behalf of Transilwrap. This established the perception of Transilwrap as highly active and preferred buyer in the industry. The opportunity to acquire Interfilm was introduced by an advisor who sought out Nicolet Capital outside of their auction process.
Outcome
Nicolet Capital worked closely with management to develop an integration plan for Interfilm and provided implementation support to capture over $3 million in synergies. Interfilm was sold in connection with the sale of Transilwrap to a financial buyer in late 2013 resulting in a full realization of Nicolet Capital’s investment.
