Welcome to
Company Overview
Post Holdings Partnering Corporation is a blank-check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar partnering transaction with one or more businesses.
The parent of our sponsor, Post Holdings, is a consumer packaged goods holding company with businesses operating in the center-of-the-store, refrigerated, foodservice and food ingredient categories.
We believe that our ability to leverage the deep experience of our management team and the operational experience of Post Holdings, which has completed over 20 acquisitions since 2012 across a wide spectrum of size, subsector, and ownership structure, will provide us with a distinct advantage in being able to source, diligence and add value post-closing of the partnering transaction.
We believe there is a great opportunity to help build a foundation for long-term success, and we will lend our expertise, resources and guidance, backed by our initial financial commitment, to start a journey for a new public company.
