Cleveland, Dec 03 — Blue Point Capital Partners is pleased to announce the successful exit of Country Pure Foods (“CPF”), a leading provider of branded and private-label beverage product solutions.
Founded in 1995, CPF has become one of the largest suppliers of portioned and multi-serve juices, plant-based beverages and frozen novelties. With a diverse portfolio of 60 products in multiple packaging options, CPF serves the healthcare and education markets as well as industry-leading foodservice distributors and grocery retailers nationwide.
Blue Point first partnered with CPF in 2019, supported by a longstanding relationship and the firm’s regional proximity to the company’s Akron, Ohio headquarters. During the partnership, Blue Point supported CPF in accelerating innovation in plant-based and aseptic categories, securing strategic private label wins, launching new products aligned with consumer trends and strengthening CPF’s commercial and marketing capabilities.
“Partnering with Blue Point has been instrumental to our growth journey as a company,” said CPF CEO Tony Muscato. “Over the last six years, we’ve built meaningful value across the business while empowering our team and delivering innovative and high-quality products for our customers. With Blue Point’s support, we’re well-positioned for long-term success, and I’m incredibly proud of the culture of continuous improvement we’ve fostered together.”
During its partnership with Blue Point, CPF expanded production capacity, optimized equipment utilization, streamlined logistics management and implemented data-driven pricing analytics and strategy. Blue Point also supported CPF in building and developing its leadership team to support continued growth.
“From the outset, CPF had an impressive foundation with a clear growth vision,” said Blue Point Partner Jonathan Pressnell. “Our collaboration unlocked meaningful opportunities, and the progress achieved truly reflects the talent and dedication of the entire team. We’re proud of the value we created together and excited to see what the future holds for Country Pure Foods in its next chapter.”
This exit marks another strong outcome for Blue Point in the food and beverage space, an area of continued focus for the firm.
