Saw Mill Capital Completes Sale of Gateway Packaging Company, LLC
Summary
"Our successful investment in Gateway was a testament to both the industry research conducted by our in-house research team, which enabled us to identify the growth opportunity in the pet food packaging market, as well as the outstanding management team that was able to execute on our collective vision," commented Tim Nelson, Partner of Saw Mill Capital.
