“We are very pleased that Wynnchurch Capital along with management have invested in this business,” said Stampede CEO Brock Furlong. “We have a shared vision for investment in the business that will allow us to continue to expand our focus on being the supplier of choice for our customers and the employer of choice for our people.”

Wynnchurch managing director Neel Mayenkar added: “Wynnchurch seeks to invest in customer-focused businesses that recognize their success is driven by meeting or exceeding their customers’ needs. Stampede embraces this philosophy, offering highly-customised, collaborative solutions to customers.”

At the time of writing, Stampede Meat and Wynnchurch had not responded to requests for further comment.
