Country Archer Jerky Co. secures $10 million investment to expand production capacity
Country Archer Jerky Co. has raised $10 million from Monogram Capital Partners, a Los Angeles-based private equity firm focused on growth consumer and retail investments. The new capital infusion marks the third investment Monogram has made in the vertically integrated brand and will enable Country Archer to more than double production capacity at its Southern California-based facility to support exploding consumer demand for its line of clean, gourmet meat snacks.
A heritage brand that first began crafting gourmet jerky more than 30 years ago, Country Archer makes all its jerky at its 30,000 square foot manufacturing plant in San Bernardino. Here the savory aromas of slowly cooked and marinated grass-fed beef and antibiotic-free turkey fill the air daily. More than 100 local employees comprise the production team responsible for creating the brand’s signature, irresistibly delicious meat snacks. The recent move to pursue a new round of investment with the sole focus of increasing this production capacity was made following a record year of growth for Country Archer in Q1-Q3 of 2018.
