Private Equity Firm Seeks to Support Continued Growth and Expansion
Boston, MA (March 26, 2025) — Nonantum Capital Partners (“Nonantum”), a middle-market private equity firm, today announced the acquisition of MSI Express (“MSI”). Founded in 2008, MSI is a contract manufacturing and packaging partner for leading food and beverage brands. The company has 15 locations strategically located in six states and is one of the largest food co-manufacturers in the country.
Nonantum’s acquisition of MSI is consistent with the firm’s investment approach of backing experienced management teams in companies with strong growth potential and a strategic competitive advantage. Additionally, Nonantum has experience in the food packaging sector and a successful track record of acquiring, growing, and scaling businesses.
“From day one, we’ve been relentlessly dedicated to quality, innovation, and partnership—we’re committed to creative solutions and creating the most value possible for our clients,” said MSI co-founder and CEO Charles Weinberg. “We’re proud to have grown our business by strategically partnering with the nation’s leading brands, and we’re excited to have the Nonantum team’s support in scaling our business as we continue to grow alongside our customers.”
MSI offers innovative engineering solutions across blending, packaging, and both dry and liquid filling. Headquartered in Indiana, the company operates out of its strategically located network of manufacturing facilities, offering clients convenience and efficiency at scale.
“At Nonantum, our investment decisions are rooted in strong partnerships with leadership teams and a belief in the strategic competitive advantage of a business. With MSI, both are clearly evident,” said Nonantum managing partner Jon Biotti. “Charles and team have built an outstanding company that is laser-focused on engineering expertise and client service and offers a deep knowledge of the food and beverage sector.
