US: Superior street partners announces acquisition of Riverbend Nursery
Based in Riner, Virginia, Riverbend Nursery is a leading producer and distributor of quality perennial plants, herbs, and ground cover, with sales primarily to the independent garden centre and landscape contractor markets. Riverbend also produces and markets a green roof product in the Mid-Atlantic region, under the LiveRoof® name, as part of storm water management solutions. The company was founded in 1984 by Jim Snyder, who will remain Chief Executive Officer. For additional information on Riverbend Nursery, visit http://www.riverbendnursery.com.
Jon Herbst, President of Superior Street Partners, notes: "The core operations and focus on quality production and superior customer service will remain unchanged post acquisition. We view the investment as an opportunity to partner with Jim Snyder and a successfully built operation, which includes a solid level of next generation management. Our plan is to carefully further expand the plant segment and green roof business, which is still a relatively young market domestically as part of a solution for storm water runoff, and presents a significant growth opportunity."
Jim Snyder adds: "The transaction enables Riverbend to further grow and expand the business, bringing new opportunities and room for growth to both employees and customers. Having this type of long-term partner secures our future as a continued leader in the perennial and green roof industries, and their interest in maintaining operations aligned well with our commitment to superior products and customer service."
