Cascadia Capital, an investment bank serving middle market clients globally, today announced it acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Tillridge Global Agribusiness Partners (“Tillridge”) on its exit of portfolio company Novus Ag, an innovative ag retail platform, to Aqua Capital, an agriculture-focused private equity investor based in Brazil.
Following rapid consolidation in the ag retail industry, the current market structure has failed to satisfy the needs of the industry's two primary stakeholders: local store operators and farmers. Novus Ag developed a unique platform which attracts the industry's best talent, while providing farmers with an optimal mix of local expertise and national scale. Novus Ag has integrated 30+ owner-operators across 50+ retail locations to its network, serving farmers across the United States with crop protection, fertilizer, and seed treatment products coupled with application and agronomy services.
“I am honored to represent Novus Ag and Tillridge on this transaction,” added Scott Porter, Cascadia Capital Managing Director. “Novus Ag is a first-of-its-kind platform in agriculture with an incredible growth opportunity and led by a highly experienced management team. The Agriculture Input sector broadly continues to be a core area of focus for our practice.”
“The broader retail environment serving rural and agricultural communities throughout the United States continues to evolve and Novus Ag’s entrepreneurial owner-operator model is a clear example of the positive economic impact and success that this industry has on the communities it serves,” said James Cartales, Cascadia Managing Director.

Cascadia Capital, an investment bank serving middle market clients globally, today announced it acted as the exclusive financial advisor to C-A-L Ranch Stores, a leading farm and ranch retailer with 33 locations across Idaho, Utah, Nevada and Arizona, in its merger with Coastal Farm & Ranch, a leading ranch and country lifestyle retailer with 21 locations in the Pacific Northwest. Nolan Capital, current majority partner of Coastal, retains a majority stake in the combined business, which will now operate 54 retail locations across 6 states with over 2,200 associates.
Founded in 1959, C-A-L Ranch is a category-leading ranch and lifestyle retailer for a growing population of country lifestyle shoppers, outdoor enthusiasts, pet owners, hobby farmers and more. There are great synergies between C-A-L and Coastal and over one hundred years of successful farm and ranch retail experience collectively.
“Building C-A-L Ranch into the company it is today has been a great accomplishment by our team, and I am proud of our support for the communities we serve,” said Jerry Ward, majority owner of C-A-L. “This decision was made with the utmost care for my family, our employees and the company’s future. We are excited about the combination of two great companies and I am confident this business is set up for continued success.”
The combination of these two great businesses creates an enormous amount of value and opportunity. We are thrilled to be partnering with Jerry and Tom who have built C-A-L Ranch into a leading player and best-in-class operator in the farm and ranch retail industry,” said Peter Nolan, Chairman of Nolan Capital.
“Farm and ranch lifestyle retail has been the fastest-growing physical retail channel over the past decade. This unique business combination creates a significant regional footprint in the Western United States with exceptional operating capabilities. The combined business is poised to continue to grow into a national platform and become a key consolidator in the channel,” said James Cartales, Managing Director of Cascadia Capital.

Cascadia Capital, an investment bank serving middle-market clients globally, announced that its client Turtle Island Foods, dba Tofurky, a leading plant-based foods brand that manufactures and markets products in the United States, has been acquired by Morinaga Nutritional Foods, Inc. a subsidiary of Tokyo-based Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd. Cascadia Capital served as the exclusive financial advisor to Tofurky in the transaction.
Founded by Seth Tibbott in 1980, Tofurky is a pioneer in the U.S. plant-based foods market, originally making from-scratch tempeh for the local community. The company leveraged its humble origins in tempeh and roasts to build a cult following and expand the brand into a wide range of plant-based categories including deli slices, sausages, and chick’n. With a commitment to taste and nutrition and a track record of innovation, Tofurky provides Morinaga Nutritional Foods with a unique opportunity to strengthen its plant-based foods business in North America and expand beyond Morinaga’s industry-leading tofu products.
“Tofurky was one of the earliest pioneers in plant-based foods and has been a steadying force for the industry,” said Erik Einwalter, Cascadia Capital Managing Director. “The strategic buyer community continues to show an appetite for acquisitions that expand their plant-based foods portfolios and geographic reach. We are grateful to Jaime and the team for having been a part of the Tofurky story.”
“We selected Cascadia as our partner because of their plant-based foods industry experience and their cultural alignment with our shareholders and management,” said Jaime Athos, CEO of Tofurky. “We are eager to enter this next chapter with Morinaga and to further cement Tofurky’s leadership position in plant-based foods in North America.”
“Tofurky is a class-leading asset, and with financial and operational support of Morinaga, the brand will see enhanced momentum nationally and internationally,” said John Gulvezan, Cascadia Capital Vice President. “While the sector has experienced volatility over the past eighteen months, we believe the underlying long-term trends will fuel plant-based foods growth as the industry continues to mature.”
The Tofurky acquisition represents another successful transaction for Cascadia in the branded food sector and our continued demonstration of our experience in plant-based foods. Recent clients include Follow Your Heart, Green River Spirits, Pancho’s, Campos Coffee, and Pretzilla.

Cascadia Capital, an investment bank serving middle market clients globally, today announced it acted as the exclusive financial advisor to the Stadelman Fruit Company ("SFC"), in the sale of Stadelman’s apple division to Sixth Street Partners.
Stadelman Fruit Company is a vertically integrated grower, packer, and shipper of high-quality tree fruit. SFC’s tree fruit operations are comprised of premier orchard, packing, and storage assets located in the heart of Washington’s Yakima Valley.
Sixth Street Partners is partnering with Pine Canyon Growers to operate the tree fruit assets, adding volume to a high-quality grower and packer of apples in Eastern Washington. The sale comprised of more than 1,600 acres of orchards and also included a packing line and storage. Going forward, Sixth Street Partners will look to further build out its platform in the tree fruit sector.
"We are thrilled to have advised Stadelman with their second transaction in the tree fruit sector" added Scott Porter. “We expect continued consolidation in the tree fruit sector in the coming years as institutional investors continue to come into the industry.”
This acquisition represents another successful transaction in the Agribusiness practice for Cascadia and a continued demonstration of its experience in vertically integrated production agriculture. Cascadia’s Agribusiness practice is one of the largest and most active Agribusiness practices in North America. Recent transactions include the sale of Specialty Sales to Kainos Capital, the growth capital investment in Agrovision from responsAbility Investments and Avenue Sustainable Solutions Fund, the CEL Group of Companies’ partnership with Madison Industries, and the acquisition of Chelan Fruit to International Farming.

Cascadia Capital, an investment bank serving middle market clients globally, today announced it acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Seagull Scientific (“Seagull” or the “Company”), a leading global provider of software for designing, printing, and automating the production of labels, barcodes, documents, and RFID tags, in its acquisition by Peak Rock Capital, a middle market investment firm.
Seagull’s flagship BarTender product suite is a leading end-to-end enterprise label management software platform that allows businesses to design labels that ensure accuracy and compliance, automate production workflows, and optimize their supply chain and manufacturing operations. BarTender has established itself as one of the leading labeling software solutions and is used by more than 100,000 businesses worldwide to create and print more than 40 billion labels annually.
“Seagull represents an exciting opportunity to invest in a mission-critical, enterprise software platform serving diverse end markets. We look forward to partnering with the company to achieve its growth plan, accelerate the product roadmap, and pursue strategic acquisitions,” said Pete Leibman, Managing Director at Peak Rock Capital.
“We are excited to partner with Peak Rock as we embark on this next phase of our growth journey. Peak Rock has a deep understanding of our customer needs, technology, and ecosystem. They also have a compelling track record of supporting management teams in driving innovation and building leading software platforms. This investment will enable Seagull to accelerate its growth even further and continue to support our valued customers and channel partners,” commented Harold Boe, CEO of Seagull.
“Cascadia Capital was an ideal partner in this process. Their market leading supply chain technology and software expertise helped us evaluate the strategic landscape, select the right path, and identify the best counterparty to support our growth. Their process leadership and market insights helped us secure a great result with a great partner,” added Mr. Boe.
“The Company is ideally positioned to capitalize on a growing demand for technology enabled supply chain solutions. BarTender is a key accelerant for the supply chain by providing the leading label management software solution that combines ease of deployment with seamless integration and execution on a platform that spans from on-prem to the cloud. Supply chain technology will continue to be a key enabler of growth and margin expansion, and we look forward to leveraging our deep industry experience to support our clients,” said Managing Director Firdaus Pohowalla, Head of Supply Chain Technology at Cascadia Capital.
“We were thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the Seagull team on this transaction. Our client has found the ideal partner in Peak Rock and we eagerly anticipate their continued success,” added Teague Collins, Managing Director and Head of Cascadia’s e-Commerce Software coverage.
The acquisition represents another successful transaction for Cascadia’s transportation, logistics, and supply chain practice, following the recent growth equity investment in Shipfusion from Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, the sale of Pacific Cascade to World Group, the acquisition of FragilePak by Greenbriar Equity, and the sale of StyleGenome to Wayfair.

Cascadia Capital, an investment bank serving middle market clients globally, today announced it acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Pacific Cascade Distribution and Pacific Cascade Trucking (collectively “Pacific Cascade” or the “Company”), an asset-light provider of critical third-party logistics (“3PL”) services, in its acquisition by World Group, a global logistics organization headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio.
Founded in 2005, Pacific Cascade is a leading provider of asset-light 3PL services including container drayage, warehousing, transloading, and fulfillment. Strategically located in Sumner, Washington near the ports of Tacoma and Seattle, the Company operates a 267,000 sq ft distribution facility with a fleet of over 50 professional drivers. Pacific Cascade supports a growing customer base across a variety of end markets including eCommerce, omnichannel retail, packaging, construction, and more.
World Group and its operating companies have a robust presence east of the Rockies and this acquisition, along with other recent capital investments, will bolster their presence in the Pacific Northwest while positioning Pacific Cascade to continue its rapid growth throughout the region.
“This agreement really made sense for both organizations, as our leadership teams share a similar vision for the region,” said Jeff Roulst, CEO of Pacific Cascade. “We selected Cascadia Capital as our advisor due to their extensive logistics and transportation expertise and their commitment to getting us the best result for our business and our employees. We are grateful for their close counsel and the well-coordinated process they ran to achieve our objectives and exceed our expectations.”
“Pacific Cascade has established itself as one of the leading 3PL providers in the Pacific Northwest, and we were pleased to work with Jeff, Frank, and their team to find a partner that can support their continued growth,” said Firdaus Pohowalla, Managing Director and Head of Transportation, Logistics, and Supply Chain coverage at Cascadia Capital. “The region has become much more strategically valuable as shippers seek an alternative West Coast access point for increased volume, and Pacific Cascade is ideally positioned to benefit from this growth. As the 3PL space continues to grow and evolve, we look forward to leveraging our deep industry experience to continue to support clients in the space.”
The acquisition represents another successful transaction for Cascadia’s transportation, logistics, and supply chain practice, following the recent growth equity investment in Shipfusion from Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, the acquisition of FragilePak by Greenbriar Equity and the sale of Cory to JB Hunt.

Cascadia Capital, an investment bank serving middle market clients globally, today announced it acted as the exclusive financial advisor to The Colon, Stomach, and Liver Center (“CSL”) and Loudoun Endoscopy Group (“LEG”) in partnership with One GI®, a gastroenterology healthcare services organization and portfolio company of Webster Equity Partners. The agreement also includes the state-of-the-art Loudoun Endoscopy Center.
Formed in April 2020, One GI is comprised of leading gastroenterology practices throughout the Eastern US. Established in 2003, CSL's three board certified gastroenterologists and two advanced practice providers (APPs) deliver comprehensive gastrointestinal and hepatology care to patients in Northern Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland.
Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, One GI identifies and partners with leading gastroenterology practices that are seeking a strategic alliance to provide capital and management services to help foster growth, drive economies of scale, and deliver the highest quality care to patients.
One GI’s partnership with CSL and LEG in Northern Virginia further validates its foundational value of delivering world class GI care in community based practices, and the expansion in Virginia aligns with One GI's commitment to strategic growth.
"We are excited to partner with One GI to help us continue to improve the well-being of our patients and expand our commitment to meeting the growing need for GI and liver healthcare in Loudoun County and our neighboring communities,” said Satinder Gill, MD, CSL founding physician. “Our longstanding relationship with Cascadia Capital helped us find a strong partner in One GI. I’m grateful to Cascadia for their insightful counsel in selecting a partner who valued our unique care model.”
“We are excited for Dr. Gill and this long-term partnership with One GI as they look to grow a strong presence in the Virginia market,” added Vitaliy Marchenko, Senior Vice President at Cascadia Capital.
“Cascadia’s Healthcare Team continues to build out its healthcare services specialty coverage. This transaction demonstrates yet another area of expertise for our team within physician services as we continue advising GI, Fertility, Behavioral Health, Cariology & Vascular, Dermatology, Retina, and Oral Surgery physicians,” added Kevin Cable, Cascadia Managing Director.

Cascadia Capital, an investment bank serving middle market clients globally, today announced it acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Premier Biotech (“Premier" or the “Company”), a provider of point-of-care drugs of abuse testing products and laboratory services for customers across workplace, government and behavioral health end markets, to Align Capital Partners (“ACP”), a growth-oriented private equity firm that partners with business owners and management teams.
Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Premier is a leading provider of point-of-care and rapid drugs of abuse diagnostic testing devices supported by an accredited laboratory. The Company’s products and corresponding laboratory services are used in the workplace (hiring and safety applications), government (child and family services, criminal justice, corrections and DOT applications) and clinical (medication monitoring) segments. The Company is differentiated by its ability to provide accurate, cost-effective drug testing at the point-of-care with rapid results that enable faster and more informed decision making. As an R&D focused organization, Premier has been at the forefront of the drugs of abuse testing industry and strives to be the leader in bringing new tests and cutting-edge technology to market.
“The entire Premier Biotech team and I are elated about our partnership with the ACP team. They value our history of innovation and market leadership in the drugs of abuse testing market and bring resources to help us scale the organization to capitalize on the tremendous growth opportunity in front of the business,” said CEO Todd Bailey.
"As the point-of-care drugs of abuse testing space evolves, Premier Biotech will continue to drive growth through the team’s broad expertise, the Company’s differentiated, tech-enabled offering, and its new products in development. Todd and the team have found a compelling partner and we look forward to their collective future success," said Adam Stormoen, Managing Director and Head of Medical Devices & Products coverage at Cascadia Capital. "We are pleased to have delivered another successful outcome in the Medical Devices market and look forward to continuing to support clients in the space.”

Cascadia Capital, an investment bank serving middle market clients globally, today announced it acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Pixlee TurnTo, a US-based industry-leading provider of user-generated content (UGC), ratings and reviews, and influencer marketing solutions, in its acquisition by Emplifi, a leading unified customer experience platform and a portfolio company of Audax Group.
Pixlee TurnTo’s leading-edge, customer-powered solutions give brands the tools they need to leverage authentic customer stories to help drive sales and build community – cost-effectively and at scale. Emplifi will incorporate Pixlee TurnTo’s capabilities across its social marketing, social commerce and customer care workflows as part of its unified CX Cloud platform.
Today more than ever, purchasing decisions are influenced more by social proof and community content than traditional media. Authentic customer stories told through UGC, ratings & reviews, and social media influencers impact customer decisions with 70% considering UGC or reviews before making a purchase. At the same time marketing and ecommerce departments are stretched with budget and resources. Leveraging UGC presents a cost-effective, efficient source of content, while also amplifying the voices of a brand’s most powerful advocates, its customers. Brands turn to Pixlee TurnTo’s solutions to easily identify the right UGC content, surface highlights from positive reviews, and identify influencers to inspire and educate their digital audiences while delivering deeper engagement, higher conversion rates, and increased loyalty.
“Today marks an important milestone for Pixlee TurnTo, as we become part of the Emplifi family,” said Kyle Wong, Chairman and Co-Founder, Pixlee TurnTo. “Our vision has always been to enable community-driven brands to create outstanding experiences for their customers, and we are proud to have joined forces with a company who will enable us to take that vision even further.”
“Cascadia’s deep industry expertise helped us achieve a great outcome by effectively telling our story to the market. We are excited about the opportunities ahead as we accelerate growth and continue to serve brands by leveraging authentic customer stories,” added George Eberstadt, CEO and Co-Founder, Pixlee TurnTo.
“As two respective industry leaders in social & customer community content, Pixlee and TurnTo proved to be agile and nimble through their successful merger in 2021, recognizing a trend in industry consolidation. Now in 2022 after successfully integrating, they have decided to join forces with Emplifi to help take their product to the next level,” said Teague Collins, Managing Director, Cascadia Capital.
Pixlee TurnTo, which is headquartered in San Francisco, has over 90 employees and more than 1,000 customers including GNC, Alo Yoga, Tumi, Carnival Cruise Lines and Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants.
This acquisition represents another successful transaction for Cascadia in the sales & marketing sector. Past transactions include Ballast Point Venture’s investment in Keen Decision Systems and the sale of Influenster to Bazaarvoice.

Cascadia Capital, an investment bank serving middle market clients globally, today announced it acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Summit Imaging, Inc. (“Summit”), a technology enabled service organization that focuses on repairs and services for ultrasound and mammography imaging equipment, in its acquisition by RS&A, LLC (“RSA”), a portfolio company of Sheridan Capital Partners, a healthcare focused private equity firm.
Founded in 2006, Summit is a tech-enabled provider of medical imaging equipment repair, refurbishment, and exchange services to healthcare facilities, independent service organizations, and OEMs across North America, primarily focused on ultrasound and mammography. Summit’s deep industry expertise, technical capabilities, and proprietary software solutions perfectly complement RSA’s existing service offering and will augment their collective ability to deliver critical support to their healthcare customers.
RSA is a North Carolina-based medical device independent service provider for radiotherapy equipment, most notably external beam linear accelerators (“LINACs”). Since 1995, RSA has supported the oncology community through equipment life cycle management, maintenance, parts, and removals/installations.
“The entire Summit team and I are elated about our partnership with [CEO] DJ Conrad and the RSA team,” said Larry Nguyen, the Founder of Summit, and newly appointed CIO of RSA. “Our teams are fundamentally aligned in our cultural values, our commitment to our clients, and our desire to deliver the highest-quality services in direct support of healthcare providers, and the service community to improve patient care.”
“As the medical equipment service and repair space evolves, Summit Imaging will continue to drive growth through their broad electronic expertise, proprietary software, and tech enabled, differentiated offerings. Larry and the team have found a compelling strategic partner and we look forward to their collective future success,” said Adam Stormoen, Managing Director and Head of Medical Devices at Cascadia Capital. “We are pleased to have delivered another successful outcome in the medical equipment service and repair sector and look forward to continuing to support clients in the space.”
The acquisition represents another successful transaction for Cascadia’s healthcare team, and another great outcome for a client in the medical equipment service, maintenance and repair sector following the recent sale of 626 Holdings to Peak Rock Capital.

With six board-certified physicians and three clinic locations, RCSC’s partnership bolsters RCA’s Colorado footprint and furthers its influence in innovative retina research across the U.S. RCA now has a total network of more than 235 physicians across more than 300 locations.
Established in 1987, RCSC physicians specialize in the treatment of retinal diseases, laser procedures and surgery, using state-of-the-art diagnostic testing equipment, lasers, surgical instruments, research, and studies to further enhance each diagnosis, condition, and treatment.

Together with RCA, the physicians, and dedicated staff of RCSC look forward to continuing their involvement in groundbreaking clinical studies in an effort to ensure patients receive the latest innovative procedures and therapies.
"Retina Consultants of Southern Colorado is thrilled to partner with RCA to achieve synergy in providing the highest quality and most technologically advanced retina care along with many of the most prestigious, innovative, and forward-thinking practices in the nation,” said Adam Martidis, M.D., Retina Consultants of Southern Colorado.
“Cascadia was pivotal in securing a highly successful outcome in the acquisition of our medical practice,” continued Dr. Martidis. “Their actions and guidance can best be described as smart, strategic, patient, and efficient. There is no way we could have achieved the outstanding result in our deal without their unparalleled professionalism, strict attention to detail, and stellar advocacy.”
“Cascadia is pleased to have played a part in orchestrating a transaction uniting two exceptionally driven parties,” said Vitaliy Marchenko, Cascadia Director. “We are excited to have helped pave the way for this remarkable outcome and an even more promising future partnership.”
Physician partnership and consolidation has become one of the dominant recent trends in the healthcare landscape. Cascadia has been a key advisor to clinics and doctors interested in exploring or taking advantage of this market dynamic.
