Quad-C Management, a middle market private equity firm, has announced it has closed on an investment in Catapult Print and Packaging, a printer and converter of linerless and pressure sensitive labels.
Founded in 2018 and based in Orlando, FL, USA, Catapult provides specialty labels primarily serving the food and beverage, industrial and consumer end-markets. Mark Cook founded the company with his two sons, Lewis and Ashley, with the vision of creating a best-in-class label provider. Catapult leverages the latest printing technology and management's operational experience to drive industry-leading service levels, lead times and quality products.
A family-owned business since its 2018 inception, Catapult is led by CEO, Mark Cook, president, Lewis Cook, and chief marketing officer, Ashley Cook, all of whom will continue in that capacity.

"We have a shared vision to build a national platform and are excited to have a like-minded partner in Quad-C to help our team execute on our growth plan."
"We have been impressed with the entire Catapult team from day one and the company's approach to the label industry," states Frank Winslow, partner at Quad-C.

"Catapult fits well with Quad-C's investment criteria, and we see multiple avenues for continued growth," adds Matt Trotta, vice president at Quad-C. "We look forward to partnering with the Catapult team and supporting that growth."
