Champlain recruited seasoned CEO with experience branding and international distribution. Completed 2 tuck-in acquisitions in year 1.

Investment Highlights

Maple syrup is a large, growing “on trend” category; global demand for pure maple syrup has been growing at 5-6% per year since 2010

L.B. Maple Treat is one of three major maple syrup bottlers in the world in an otherwise fragmented market – making it well positioned to grow through acquisitions

The recently adopted Transpacific trade agreement should accelerate organic sales growth in Asia

The company only utilizes a portion of its state of the art bottling facility, allowing for growth with minimal additional investment

Successful exit
Sold to Lantic Inc. (owned by Rogers Sugar Inc.) in 2017
