Redwood Capital Group Announces Sale of Titan Foods to Transpacific Foods

NEW YORK | LOS ANGELES | GENEVA | February 14th, 2013 – Redwood Capital Group (“Redwood”), an investment banking firm headquartered in New York, NY, announces the successful sale of Titan Foods, Inc. (“Titan” or “the Company”) to Transpacific Foods, Inc. (“Transpacific”), a leading supplier of tropical fruits in the United States and owned by Great Giant Pineapple Co. (“GGP”), a multi-billion dollar Indonesian global supplier of premium pineapples and fruits.

Founded in 1981, Titan Foods, Inc. is a private snack food manufacturer located in Southern California. The Company’s products include a variety of dried and fresh fruits, nuts, and confectionary goods.

Through long-term relationships with partners and leading wholesalers and club stores, Titan also brings to Transpacific a robust business, diversification of product lines, and access to strategic production and distribution channels.

Mr. Matthew Johnson, a Redwood Capital Managing Partner from the Los Angeles office said, “Together, Titan and Transpacific will leverage each other’s strong assets, expertise and technology and integrate these advantages into each respective business. This transaction showcases Redwood Capital’s ability to assist cross-border companies in bridging cultural and financial differences for its clients and maximizing desired results. We continue to extend our cross-border expertise into a variety of new markets and industries.”
