Encina Capital Partners, LLC was launched by Andy Salter, a former partner at Oaktree Capital Management’s Principal Opportunities Group. Since 2016, Encina has created four de novo commercial finance platforms covering the following asset classes: · Asset Based Lending · Equipment Finance · Private Credit · Lender Finance Two of the platforms were sold in 2021: Encina Business Credit, now Eclipse Business Capital, was acquired by Mass Mutual’s Barings LLC affiliate; Encina Equipment Finance, now Post Road Equipment Finance, was purchased by Franklin Templeton’s private credit arm, Benefit Street Partners, LLC. Encina’s current focus is aimed at growing its two remaining platforms: · Encina Private Credit which provides first-out and pari-passu enterprise value loans in the $10 – $50mm range to PE-sponsored & non-sponsored borrowers, and · Encina Lender Finance which provides credit facilities in the $10 – $50mm range to commercial & consumer specialty finance companies. Across all our product strategies, we aim to attract highly experienced management teams with relevant domain expertise and proven track records. We differentiate ourselves from our competition by providing borrowers with speed, certainty, and flexibility. We take pride in the fact that a wide range of private equity sponsors and intermediaries have chosen to work with us on a repeat basis. Altogether we have provided in excess of $3B in commitments to more than 150 borrowers.

Cosmos Food Co., Inc., has been the leader in serving North America authentic Korean foods for almost 50 years since 1971. By combining our knowledge of what goes into making a great tasting kimchi from our roots back to Korea and our know-how in manufacturing to the highest quality and safety standards, we offer North America the first true one-stop-shop for all things kimchi. Did you know that during the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, Cosmos Food was the proud supplier of kimchi to a restaurant in the Olympic Village? It was the first time in the history of the Games that kimchi was served to the athletes - and it was such a hit that it has become a regular menu item for the Olympic Village restaurants. Since then, we have grown to become the largest manufacturer and distributor of kimchi in the United States through our industry leading factory in City of Industry, CA, which is SQF Level II, GMP, Organic, and Vegan certified, and offers both traditional and contemporary styles for retailers, distributors, and private-labelers.
