Peak Rock backs packaging specialist AMB

The GP bought a majority stake in the company, while the founding Marin family and the management team retained a minority holding.

Peak Rock is currently investing via its second fund, which targets mid-market companies based in North America and Europe. The GP held a final close in January 2018 for Peak Rock Capital Fund II and Peak Rock Capital Credit Fund II, reaching a combined $1.3bn hard-cap and exceeding the initial $900m target. 

Peak Rock Capital Fund II is dedicated to equity investments in mid-market businesses, where the GP can support management in driving rapid growth and profit improvement through operational and strategic changes. Peak Rock Capital Credit Fund II focuses on non-control debt investments, including both primary and secondary credits. 

Peak Rock intends to support AMB's growth through geographical and customer base expansion, product innovation, and potential add-on acquisitions.
