Everside Capital Partners Announces Investment in Stratus Surfaces, LLC
September 2023
Everside is pleased to announce the closing of its investment in Stratus Surfaces, LLC (“Stratus” or the “Company”), an importer and distributor of stone, quartz and porcelain slabs, primarily used in high-end residential and commercial projects. Headquartered in Austin, TX, Stratus has a highly experienced management team and services Texas, Washington, Oklahoma and other neighboring markets. The Company continues to grow organically by deepening relationships with local fabricators through excellent customer service and expanding geographically through a methodical hub-and-spoke expansion strategy.
For this investment, Everside partnered with an Ohio-based Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) to provide growth capital to the Stratus management teams via a recapitalization of the Company. This partnership reflects Everside’s commitment to investing in businesses with deep industry expertise and high growth potential, which we believe delivers value to all stakeholders.
Everside is an SEC-registered investment advisor, as well as a SBIC (Small Business Investment Company) license holder based in New York, NY. With over $1.9 billion in assets under management across its funds, Everside partners with leading SBIC managers in the lower middle market through its primary and secondary investing strategies, and also makes direct credit and equity investments in small businesses through its direct investing strategies.
