Stonegate Capital is pleased to announce it has made a senior debt investment into JSI Store Fixtures, a portfolio company of RFE Investment Partners.  Headquartered in Maine, JSI designs and manufactures high-quality merchandising displays for the supermarket industry focused on the store perimeter.  Over the past 25 years, JSI has focused on putting the experience of freshness first by creating food-forward displays that have transformed the perimeter of supermarkets across the country.

“Andrea Hedrick and the Stonegate team worked with us to customize a flexible solution that enabled us to streamline our capital structure and drive efficiencies to our free cash generation.  This year will be a transformational year for JSI, and we are excited to partner with Stonegate as we continue to build the JSI platform,” said Bill Bronander, Vice President of RFE Investment Partners.  The Company will utilize the senior debt facility to support ongoing operational initiatives and to foster additional growth to the business.

“We are ecstatic about our new partnership with RFE and JSI, as this investment showcases our support of innovative, market-leading companies within the sponsor-backed space” said Andrea Hedrick, CEO at Stonegate Capital. “With the combination of the Company’s strong legacy management team and extremely supportive equity backing,” Hedrick continued, “we couldn’t be more pleased to partner with JSI as they continue to expand their footprint while remaining important partners to their existing customers.”
