Culbro, LLC was formed in 2005 as the private equity investment vehicle of the Cullman family and is presently managed by members of three generations of that family.

Its target equity investment range is $10 to $20 million but it has broad latitude and can make both smaller and larger investments. It is bolstered by a number of allied investors who are prepared to invest along side it.

In the United States, Culbro invests in both control and growth capital situations. Culbro also has a significant private equity effort in India, where it will do both control and non-control investments.

The partners have over 100 years of combined experience with particular strength in consumer products. (See The Team and Our History).

Given the nature of its funding, Culbro offers creative and flexible investment solutions to companies. The following are key differentiatiors of Culbro.

• We have a history of supporting strong management teams. We are proud to say that the founders of each of our companies still run those companies today.

• We exclusively invest our partners' capital, which leads to flexible investment structures and time horizons.

• We bring over 100 years of operating experience to the table from our management of General Cigar and other companies.
