LOS ANGELES–International cutlery company Füritechnics has been bought by Marlin Equity Partners LLC, a private investment firm based here, and transformed into Füri Brands Inc., the company announced in a statement.
It will also move from its San Francisco headquarters to Los Angeles, as it will share the front and back infrastructure of Ultra*Pro, a Marlin Equity Partners company that manufactures and markets branded consumer packaged goods.
Füritechnics’ founder Mark Henry will become chief of product design with the new company, the statement said.
“Marlin is excited to enter the housewares market with this strong brand and product line and is committed to providing the strategic, operational and financial support necessary to affect Füri Brands’ organic growth initiatives and acquisition strategy,” said George Kase, principal of Marlin Equity Partners, in a statement.
