| North Castle is a leading private equity firm focused exclusively on consumer-driven product and service businesses that benefit from two long-term trends: (i) "Healthy Living" or the desire to live healthier, longer and more active lives, and (ii) the "Aging" of the Baby Boomer generation, which is expected to foster strong growth in segments of the consumer industry. These predictable and irreversible trends are fueling consumer interest and significant growth in our target markets. |
