Private equity and venture capital company JH Partners was established in 1986 in San Francisco. The firm has a reputation for investing growth capital in consumer brands. An important part of investing is having an effective exit strategy that allows the investor to liquidate its position and make a profit. One example of JH Partners’ successful exit executions is the sale of its 85 percent ownership in Country Home Products to Generac Holdings, a leading power generation company, equipment designer, and manufacturer in the USA.
A publicly held company located in Vermont, Country Home Products produces and sells high-quality property maintenance equipment. In the 1960s, Lyman Wood founded Garden Way, a company that produced the number-one selling power gardening tool in the United States at that time, the Troy-Bilt® Rototiller. The company evolved into Country Home Products, which is best known for its DR brand power equipment, custom-made for large properties, and the Neuton brand, which offers battery-electric equipment for smaller properties. In 2015, Generac Power Systems acquired Country Home Products. With the acquisition, the DR and Neuton brand names have been absorbed under the Generac Power System’s family of brands. Consequently, the reach of the DR and Neuton brand names has extended into the international market, and allowed Country Home Products to reduce its product costs.
