New York-based investment firms
TowerBrook Capital Partners and
Prelude Growth Partners have made an undisclosed investment in
Amylu Foods, the Chicago-based parent company of
Klement’s Sausage Co.
Amylu Foods is a manufacturer of fully cooked chicken products and sausages. The company acquired Klement’s
in 2024.
Amylu Foods will use the investment to scale operations, further expand across channels, and grow its consumer base.
"At Amylu, our success has always been built on delivering great-tasting, clean-ingredient products that our consumers genuinely love and trust," said
Steve Zoll, chief executive officer of Amylu Foods. "This partnership with TowerBrook is the natural next step for our growth strategy, and we're confident they're the right partner to help us expand our business across the nation given their strong track record of scaling food businesses, particularly in the protein space."
The Amylu Foods brand has grown rapidly over the last few years, Zoll previously told BizTimes Milwaukee. The brand’s portfolio of products experienced 70% year-over-year growth in 2024.
"Amylu's long-standing commitment to quality, innovation, and health-conscious convenience has earned it a strong reputation in the industry and outstanding commercial momentum," said
Michael Recht, managing director of TowerBrook. "We look forward to partnering with Steve and the Amylu team to continue to build upon the company's legacy of delivering unique products to its loyal consumers."
