MIAMI--()--Perricone Juices (the “Company”) announces it has partnered with Trivest Partners, LP (“Trivest”), a Miami-based, founder-focused private equity firm with over 40 years of experience creating strategic partnerships and fostering growth.

Headquartered in Newport Beach, CA, Perricone Juices is the leading producer of premium, craft juices in the country, with a focus on the “freshly squeezed” citrus category. Founded in 1994 and with processing facilities in both California and Florida, the Company supplies its products to the foodservice and retail channels across the US under the “Perricone Farms” brand and for leading retailers’ private label brands. In addition, its products are used as high-quality ingredients for CPG brands.

The Perricone family, with roots in the citrus industry dating back to the 1930s, will remain involved in the Company as part of the ownership group. “In choosing a partner, we were looking for a firm who would preserve and build upon the strength of the Perricone brand and the legacy our family has built in the industry for over 80 years. Trivest’s decades of working with founders and families made them the perfect partner for us,” said Joe Perricone, Founder and Chairman Emeritus of the Company.

We were extremely impressed by Perricone Juices’ talented and dedicated management team, industry-leading position, track record of growth, and sophisticated dual-coast operations. We are excited about the opportunity to help the Company further its growth by building upon the foundation that the employees and the Perricone family has built,” added Jorge Gross, Jr., Managing Partner at Trivest.
