Hilco Consumer Capital (“HCC”) is a leading private equity firm that makes strategic investments in consumer product retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers and intellectual property.  Our core focus is on North American companies with strong consumer brands. 

We can make equity investments as large as $250 million with $25 million to $100 million being our preferred investment range. Key to our strategy is partnering with best-in-class management teams.  HCC typically makes majority control investments in companies or acquires specific company assets, including IP.
 
HCC’s senior leadership has experience in a breadth of industries as well as operational and financial advisory expertise.  Our leadership works closely with portfolio company management teams to provide strategic and financial guidance. 
 
At the heart of our success is the ability to recognize both the intrinsic and potential value in an underperforming brand or stable of brands.  Armed with this knowledge, we are able to invest capital, revitalize the brand, restructure and operate the business more effectively, and derive new revenue streams through strategic initiatives such as creative brand licensing and innovative advertising.
