Ortholite Being Acquired Private equity firm Trilantic North America, which sold its majority stake in Implus Corp. to Berkshire Partners in May 2015, has inked a definitive agreement to acquire a majority stake in Ortholite, the maker of branded open-cell, foam insoles and other components. The deal, expected to close in the third quarter, is part of a management- led buyout that will see Ortholite CEO and Founder Glenn Barrett, COO John Barrett and others in senior management retain significant stakes in the Amherst, MA company that supplies its products to 250 footwear brands. Financial terms of the pending transaction, which will see Blue Point Capital Partners exit Ortholite, were not disclosed. Trilantic, which manages four private equity funds valued at $5.9 billion, has made other investments in the industry besides Implus. They include SRAM bicycle components and a minority position in Boulder, CO- based PACT Apparel in February 2016. n Running Shorts (continued) TagLit Magnetic LED Marker from Nite Ize insoles-sorbothane.com 800.838.3906 100% MADE IN THE USA SORBOTHANE ® IS THE MATERIAL THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE • ABSORBS MORE HARMFUL IMPACT SHOCK • DELIVERS MORE PURE COMFORT • PERFORMS & PROTECTS LONGER GO FOR IT!
