“We look forward to supporting the company’s exciting growth agenda over the course of our partnership.”
Technimark will use the proceeds from the transaction to facilitate its expansion into new markets and support growth.
Following the acquisition, Technimark’s current management team, led by chief executive officer Brad Wellington, will continue to lead the business and maintain a significant ownership stake.
Mr Wellington said: “Oak Hill is a firm that shares our collaborative culture and our growth vision for the business.
“We look forward to a successful partnership as we continue investing in Technimark’s manufacturing and innovation capabilities to drive best-in-class results for our customers.”
Private equity firm Pritzker Private Capital, which partnered with Technimark’s management in 2014, will retain a substantial minority investment in the company.
Pritzker operating partner David King said: “Technimark has built tremendous support and loyalty from its customers and proven its leadership in the healthcare, consumer goods and speciality industrial markets.
“We are pleased to continue our partnership and we look forward to working with Oak Hill to support Technimark’s growth plan.”
Last July, Technimark acquired Tool and Plastic Industries, an injection-moulded products supplier, to strengthen its presence in Europe.
