Monogram Foods is a food manufacturer that partners closely with customers to bring high-quality protein snacks, appetizers, and prepared foods to market. Founded in 2004, the company has developed a diversified portfolio of products and co-manufacturing capabilities, serving retail and foodservice channels across the country. Monogram has combined operational discipline with a hands-on, relationship-driven culture, which has resulted in a resilient business built on long-standing customer relationships and repeat partnerships.
Through a multi-year dialogue, we got to know Monogram’s story, operations, and culture. As the company continued to scale, Monogram’s Founder & CEO began exploring ways to simplify its ownership structure and bring on a partner to support the next chapter of the business. Our partnership grew out of that existing relationship and was grounded in shared alignment on how we could work together to shape Monogram’s future.
