Centrum Cibus Partners

Based in Denver, Colorado, Centrum Cibus Partners is an investment partnership launched to establish a platform for growth in the food and beverage industry by investing in "center-of-store" food and beverage brands with a primary focus on premium and/or better-for-you brands Centrum Cibus seeks acquisition targets with defensible market, customer and product positions that result in predictable, recurring and stable revenue and earnings streams. We look to create value by improving operations and enhancing brands, not by the use of excessive leverage or other financial engineering. By partnering with patient and prudent capital providers, we strive to provide sellers with creative and flexible deal terms to meet their needs. We strongly believe that environmental factors, social issues and effective corporate governance (often referred to as "ESG factors") are critical components in determining and sustaining a brand's success in the food and beverage sector and are integral to our investment decisions. We are also passionately committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, which is reflected in our senior leadership team.
