QualiTech
Growth ambitions
QualiTech provides a wide spectrum of top-quality ingredients and nutrients for the enhanced health and well-being of people, plants, and animals. They produce essential and novel products from protected trace minerals, to vitamins, to palatability enhancers.
From its history as a family-owned business to its recent acquisition by MidOcean Partners, plans to grow its existing product range were complemented by strong ambition in the M&A space.
The newly appointed CEO was eager to hire a Chief Operations Officer with demonstrable acumen in scaling up the supply chain of foods and ingredients businesses, and an ability to seamlessly integrate acquisitions.
It’s all about the change
It was clear that we needed to identify experienced leaders in food production and B2B set-ups, willing and able to be based out of Minneapolis. Even more importantly, the right person would reflect the high energy of the CEO and new owners, someone who would seize opportunities to learn and to grow the business rather than settle for the status quo.
QualiTech met all 4 highly experienced candidates on the quickly delivered shortlist and 3 of those candidates went to the final stages of the process, the final 2 meeting the Private Equity leadership team.
Hitting the floor running
A veteran of over 15 years in Food and B2B Ingredients was appointed COO and they immediately showed their adaptability and fit with the culture by dropping straight into the due diligence process for an M&A deal that they then successfully integrated into QualiTech.
