An affiliate of Aterian Investment Partners, a private investment company, has acquired Outlook Group, a provider of pressure-sensitive labels and turnkey packaging solutions based in the US.  

This acquisition by Aterian marks a significant step in supporting Outlook’s growth trajectory.  

Outlook, headquartered in Neenah, Wisconsin, is known for its capabilities in design, printing, converting, co-packaging, and others.

The company serves several prominent food and beverage, consumer, and healthcare brands in North America.  

Established in 1977, it has approximately 260 employees across two locations in Wisconsin. 

Aterian co-founder and partner Brandon Bethea said: “We are excited to partner with the Outlook team to support the company through its next phase of growth. 

“Outlook has an industry-wide reputation for quality earned through decades of superior levels of service that has resulted in a longstanding customer base.” 

The acquisition represents the sixth investment from Aterian’s Fund IV, which is an investment vehicle valued at $834m.  

Legal company Weil, Gotshal & Manges alongside PricewaterhouseCoopers and Perella Weinberg Partners provided advisory services to Aterian during this acquisition process.  

Aterian managing director Ryan Miller said: “Outlook is positioned for future success due to the company’s strong management team, high-touch service model and deep capabilities.

“We look forward to working closely with the company’s management team to drive growth through both organic initiatives and M&A [mergers and acquisitions].”
