ATLANTA, GA – East West Manufacturing is receiving an undisclosed investment from MSD Partners.

East West addresses needs of SMB and enterprise customers in high-growth end markets, such as automation/robotics, industrial technology, fitness/medical, and smart devices/IoT. Capabilities include product design and engineering, outsourced product and component manufacturing and assembly on behalf of OEMs, and supply chain management, including third-party logistics solutions, such as inventory management, reverse logistics, and order fulfillment.

East West has operations in Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Massachusetts and Texas, and international operations in Canada, Costa Rica, Vietnam, China, India and Mexico.

MSD Partners’ investment will support East West’s capabilities from rapid prototyping and R&D to collective design, manufacturing, and supply chain solutions.

Over the past four years, the company has completed nine acquisitions, principally in North America. Going forward, the company will be evaluating acquisition opportunities to build on or otherwise establish new capabilities to support customers, from product inception to full-scale production on a global basis.

“It’s been an honor to go through this process with the MSD team, and we couldn’t be more excited about the partnership,” said Scott Ellyson, East West’s CEO and cofounder. “Their expertise and capital will only help accelerate our already impressive growth. We have a shared interest in developing and manufacturing innovative products that improve our lives. Through this new partnership, we will continue to rapidly expand our capabilities globally to best support our customers. I am also so appreciative and proud of the East West team. We’ve all worked hard to get to this point and are thrilled and committed to a future with MSD.”

“East West is a perfect fit with MSD Partners’ strategy of investing behind talented management teams and founder-led companies that are stable, high growth, and well-positioned in attractive markets,” said Kevin Brown, head of MSD Private Capital.

The East West management team will remain significant owners in the company and will continue to lead the business following MSD’s investment.
