AllPoints is a leading distributor of maintenance, repair and operation (“MRO”) parts, supplies and equipment to the foodservice industry. AllPoints is the ninth platform company for KRG’s $1.96 billion Fund IV and represents KRG’s third platform investment in the business services and distribution market.

“We are excited to partner with the AllPoints team,” noted Ted Nark, Managing Director of KRG Capital. “We believe the AllPoints platform represents a compelling opportunity to invest in a differentiated and growing distributor of critical MRO parts, supplies and equipment to the foodservice industry. Under the exceptional guidance of its management team, AllPoints has established a leadership position in the industry.
