We are pleased to announce the acquisition of Can-Do National Tape, Inc. (“Can-Do” or the “Company”), a Nashville, TN-based convertor and distributor of pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes, foams, films, foils and related products to automotive, industrial, textile, distribution, and other end markets. Can-Do, founded in 1972 as a pure PSA distributor, has evolved under the leadership of current President and equity co-investor Rick Winkel into a high value-add multi-material convertor that customizes OEM materials for end-user applications making the Company an indispensable partner both to vendors who lack custom converting capabilities and to customers who desire tailored solutions to unique problems. Rick Winkel commented, “Can-Do is facing a number of break-out opportunities that High Street Capital can help us achieve through their operating expertise, contacts and capital. Also important to us was that High Street Capital’s demeanor and collaborative style fit our people and our culture well.” For more information regarding Can-Do’s operations, please visit www.Can-DoTape.com.
This acquisition represents High Street’s fifth platform investment for Fund IV. Joe Katcha, a founder of High Street Capital, said “Can-Do fits our strategy of acquiring businesses that offer mission-critical products or services that are a small dollar part of an overall process. We look forward to working with Rick and his team to expand Can-Do and make them an indispensable part of their customer’s supply chain.”
We are actively seeking new investment opportunities for High Street Capital IV in the areas of outsourced business services, value-added distribution and manufacturing. Please contact us for businesses with revenues between $10 million and $100 million where our capital, experience and ideas could drive future growth.
