Cyprium Continues Momentum with New Investment Activity

Cyprium Announces Two Platform Investments

Cyprium Partners, a private equity firm focused on non-control investments in profitable middle-market companies, is pleased to announce two platform investments in Hirsch Solutions and Apollo Holdings.

Hirsch is a value-added distributor of commercial embroidery equipment and direct-to-garment digital printing equipment, textile bridge lasers, and related equipment, software, parts and accessories. Proceeds from the Hirsch investment enabled a recapitalization and provided support for future growth.

Apollo Veterinary Hospitals is a portfolio of veterinary practices across the Southeast and Pet Supplies Plus retail franchises throughout the United States. Apollo focuses on bringing exceptional practice management to its hospitals, making it the preferred buyer for many retiring DVMs. Our investment was used to facilitate the acquisition of existing Pet Supplies Plus locations, the development of de novo stores and the expansion of veterinary hospital networks.

Cleveland and Chicago Office Updates

The partnership is pleased that Adam Martin joined the firm as Vice President, Jeff Lakarosky was promoted to Principal, and Michael Kitts was promoted to Senior Associate and relocated to the firm’s Chicago office earlier this year. We are grateful for the contributions these talented individuals have provided to our team and look forward to their continued success.

Spring and Summer Interns

We would also like to express our appreciation to Zach Brown, Kaden Ullom, Vedant Vyas and Daniel Yang, for their hard work and dedication. Since 2016, our team has hosted a year-round undergraduate internship program that offers invaluable business training and hands-on experience. We are delighted they selected Cyprium as an early part of their professional lives and are excited to see what the future brings for them.
