TowerBrook Capital Partners L.P., together with Prelude Growth Partners, announced an investment in Amylu Foods, a manufacturer of all-natural, value-added protein products.

The partnership positions the company to continue building on its 100+ year history of delivering healthy and convenient specialty protein products to a growing base of retailers and consumers across the U.S.

Founded in 1924, and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Amylu is a high-growth manufacturer of value-added chicken products, including sausages, meatballs, and burgers, sold under the Amylu brand and private label. The company's broad portfolio of innovative and flavorful products is tailored to address consumer preferences for all-natural, high-protein options with verifiable health attributes (e.g., organic, antibiotic-free, nitrate-free). 

Amylu's products, produced in-house at the company's dedicated manufacturing facilities, allow consumers to prepare nutritious, high-quality meals quickly, combining premium ingredients with unmatched convenience. Amylu plans to leverage the TowerBrook partnership to scale operations, further expand across channels, and deliver high-quality products to a growing base of consumers nationwide.

"At Amylu, our success has always been built on delivering great-tasting, clean-ingredient products that our consumers genuinely love and trust. This partnership with TowerBrook is the natural next step for our growth strategy, and we're confident they're the right partner to help us expand our business across the nation given their strong track record of scaling food businesses, particularly in the protein space,” said CEO Steven Zoll.
