David Andrews, Founder and CEO, said, "As in the past, we are very grateful for the interest we have received from our existing and new partners. The encouragement and support by our longstanding core partners of Gryphon's model of integrating deal and operating professionals to identify, acquire, and build top-tier companies, while creating attractive risk-adjusted returns for our investors, has fueled our success."
