Patriot Capital, a multi-strategy lower-middle market investment firm, is pleased to announce its recent investment in ILS Gummies (the “Company”), a full-service manufacturer of gummy products for both emerging and established supplement brands.
Operating from a 130,000 square foot facility in McKinney, Texas, ILS Gummies offers a comprehensive suite of services, including traditional gummy formats, bilayer and center-filled gummies, and a broad array of packaging capabilities, enabling customers to scale efficiently from early-stage incubation through onboarding with major national retailers.
Patriot’s investment in ILS Gummies was made alongside other new investors in the Company, including Edgehill Management, ECP Growth, and Providence Investment Partners. Rosewood Private Investments and Catalina Capital, who formed the Company in partnership with management in 2022, will remain investors in ILS Gummies.
“Our goal from day one was to build a platform that customers could rely on as they grow. We’ve invested heavily in our facility, our people, and our processes to ensure we can support brands as their needs evolve from early formulation through large-scale production. This recent growth investment strengthens our ability to execute that vision.”
— Dru Riess, CEO, ILS Gummies
