A&M Capital Europe Announces Majority Investment in Isla Délice

A&M Capital Europe (“AMCE”), a London-based middle-market private equity investment firm with €650 million of commitments under management, announces the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire a majority stake in Isla Délice (the “Company”), a leading producer of halal packaged foods, from Perwyn, subject to customary closing conditions. The acquisition was signed in partnership with the management team and is expected to close later this year.

Founded in 1990 and headquartered in France, Isla Délice has successfully established itself as a pioneer of modern halal foods in France, recognised for its commitment to quality and continuous innovation. AMCE believes halal packaged food is a rapidly expanding category, driven by strong market tailwinds. The Company offers a diverse portfolio of products across delicatessen, frozen foods, ready meals, and various ambient categories. Isla Délice has six brands in its portfolio, including the Isla Délice flagship brand, as well as a complementary private label offering.

Building on a strong presence in France, the Company has recently expanded internationally through acquisitions in Belgium, the UK, and Germany, while also recently organically entering the Netherlands, Spain, and Italy. Isla Délice’s five production facilities have significant capacity to support future growth and are supported by an extensive logistics network with hubs in key centres across Europe.

The partnership with AMCE is expected to enable Isla Délice to leverage its leadership, innovation expertise, manufacturing capabilities, and strong and longstanding customer partnerships to accelerate organic growth. The Company plans to expand its product range, broaden its distribution channels, and pursue strategic acquisitions both in France and internationally, with the aim of transforming Isla Délice into a leading pan-European halal supplier.

Isla Délice will continue under the leadership of its existing management team, led by CEO Eric Fauchon, with Eric and his team investing alongside AMCE. AMCE was advised by Weil, Gotshal & Manges as legal adviser, Natixis Partners, IKSEL & Co and Spayne Lindsay as financial advisers, EY Parthenon and Food Strategy Associates as commercial advisers, Alvarez & Marsal as accounting and operations adviser, EY as tax adviser, and West Monroe as IT adviser.

The acquisition of Pet Republic Group is expected to bolster PNI’s presence in Serbia, drive cross-selling and cost synergies, and reinforce local leadership with the appointment of founder Marko Senic as PNI’s Head of Serbia.

Pet Republic Group represents PNI’s third acquisition since AMCE’s investment in September 2021.

AMCE and PNI were advised by PR Legal and Freshfields as legal advisers, Deloitte as financial and tax advisers, and Netox as IT advisers.

A&M Capital Makes Strategic Hires To Build Middle-Market Focused Private Equity Secondaries Business

A&M Capital looks to fill what it believes to be a need in lower middle market to middle-market secondaries transactions

June 9, 2025 – A&M Capital Advisors, LP (“A&M Capital”) announced today the hiring of two Managing Partners, Jeremy Weisberg and Jared Wien — industry veterans focused on investing in the private equity secondaries market. Together, they bring more than 40 years of combined experience in private equity secondaries and direct buyouts. A&M Capital’s new secondaries investment strategy, A&M Capital Secondaries (“AMCS”), will target private equity firms seeking a value-added partner in single-asset and multi-asset continuation vehicles (“CVs”) and opportunistic acquisitions of limited partner interests in existing private equity funds.

“As we continue to grow the A&M Capital platform, we believe that entering the secondaries market is a natural extension of our strategy,” said Mike Odrich, Co-Founder & Managing Partner of A&M Capital. “Over the past decade, we’ve built deep relationships with other blue-chip private equity firms, many of whom we’ve partnered with on direct deals and co-investments.  In these transactions, we’ve been recognized as a value-added partner with significant operational expertise. We believe that same capability will be attractive in the secondaries market.”

The new strategy expects to leverage A&M Capital’s strategic relationship with Alvarez & Marsal Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (“A&M Consulting”) to bring differentiated sourcing, diligence, and operational support to its investments. A&M Consulting is a leading global, operationally-focused advisory firm with more than 11,000 professionals. “We believe the power of the A&M Capital platform, combined with the operating capabilities of A&M Consulting, gives us a unique and differentiated model, particularly in the lower middle-market to middle-market”, said Jack McCarthy, Co-Founder & Managing Partner of A&M Capital. “We expect these same benefits to be valuable as we scale AMCS.”

Jeremy Weisberg is a career secondaries investor who joins A&M Capital from CPP Investments, where he was a Managing Director on the Secondaries team and led the U.S. effort as head of New York. Before joining CPP Investments in 2021, Jeremy was a senior member of the private equity secondaries team at GIC, which he joined in 2015 from Pantheon.  He will start at A&M Capital in early July.

Jared Wien joins from Sun Capital Partners where he was a Managing Director, head of New York, and spent 20 years leading traditional buyout transactions. For the past five years, Jared was also spearheading the firm’s secondaries initiative which included sourcing and executing investments into single- and multi-asset CVs as part of a new fund strategy. He joined A&M Capital in May.

“The two of us have seen the secondaries market evolve significantly over many years. We could not be more thrilled to combine our complementary secondaries and direct private equity skillsets and partner with A&M Capital to build this new strategy,” said Jeremy.  “We believe it is an exciting time to be in the secondaries space, especially in the middle market where there continues to be significant opportunities for investment. We look forward to contributing to the success of the A&M Capital platform,” said Jared.
