We are looking forward to the 2024 ACG Seattle Northwest Middle Market Growth Conference next week!

Last week, we announced that our portfolio company, SCI Flooring, added Carpetbaggers, Inc. to its growing flooring platform. This marks the platform’s second add-on acquisition, following United Carpet in October 2023.

“This partnership is an exciting continuation of the platform’s momentum since Rainier’s initial investment and the acquisition of United Carpet last year,” said Rainier Vice President Luke Bench. “We are excited to continue supporting Dave and his team in providing outstanding service and value to their customers throughout the Midwest.”

Rainier and SCI are actively seeking opportunities to partner with additional flooring businesses. Business owners interested in learning more should contact Luke Bench at lbench@rainierpartners.com.

In partnership with our portfolio company, SCI Flooring, Rainier is pleased to announce the platform’s second add-on acquisition, Carpetbaggers, Inc., further strengthening the platform’s regional market position.

Carpetbaggers offers flooring installation services in the greater Indianapolis metro area, with a core focus on multi-family tenant turnover and new construction. This acquisition will allow SCI to build depth and reinforce regional leadership in the Midwest. 

“We are thrilled to join forces with SCI and look forward to accelerating the growth of our business as part of the broader platform,” said Carpetbaggers’ Vice President Terry Brenner. “The SCI team shares our focus on providing high-quality, reliable service, and we are confident we can deliver even more for our customers moving forward as partners.”

We’re proud to share our 2023 year in review, showcasing firm and portfolio company highlights. Early in the year, we hit a firm milestone with the closing of Rainier’s inaugural $300 million fund. Our investors include foundations, global asset managers, insurance companies, pension plans, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals.
 
We also launched our formalized value creation strategy called SUMMIT and are proud to apply this collaborative approach throughout our portfolio — including our newest platform investments, SCI Flooring and Omega Fitness. We worked in tandem with our outstanding management teams to develop and expand our portfolio companies by adding United Carpet to SCI Flooring and hiring five new leaders across the portfolio.
 
We’re also proud of Rainier’s growth as we added four new members to our team — Benjamin Painter as Chief Financial Officer, Salmaan Amin as Associate, Shiven Mohindra as Analyst, and Bory K. as our Executive Assistant. We are incredibly grateful to our entire team for everything they do to embody the Rainier approach every day.
 
Placing gratitude where it is deserved, we want to thank our dedicated partners for their support and dedication over the course of 2023. We couldn’t do it without you! With 2024 well underway, we are looking forward to charting new heights and supporting all our partners.
