Strong partnerships and trusted relationships are at the core of what we do. We let our partners’ experiences speak for themselves—hear from those who have built lasting success with Tricor by their side.

  • “Our partnership with Tricor is built on a shared vision and aligned values, making them true partners in our journey. Their long-term perspective and strategic support have been essential in helping us scale from an early-stage company to where we are today. With their extended network of advisors, valuable insights, and ability to navigate challenges alongside us, they continue to be a vital part of our success.”

    Hamid Ahmadian
    Founder & Managing Director at Areva Living

  • “Tricor brings a valuable long-term perspective that ensures decisions are made with the business’s future in mind, not just the short-term. Combined with their highly experienced team, who consistently operate with the highest level of integrity, Tricor creates an environment where businesses can grow and thrive, building something we can all be proud of.”

    Jon Dries
    Managing Partner, EXI Partners

  • “Dinoflex Group has been under the investment umbrella of Tricor since 2008.  What is most impressive about their model is the level of belief in the executive team to manage the business autonomously, while being there when you need them most.  Their confidence in our business is evident with their involvement in 3 major growth capital investments since 2018 with the most recent being a $10+M investment into robotics and automation to facilitate the businesses aggressive growth plans for the future. It certainly has been a true partnership!”

    Mark Bunz
    President and CEO

  • “Working with Tricor and Founders has been a wonderful experience inside and outside the boardroom.  Derek and team provide exceptional support, offering strategic guidance and a wealth of knowledge to navigate uncertainties in the industry. The philosophy, freedom within a framework, allows us to focus on accelerating growth and building a sustainable and enduring business.”

    Tom Christensen
    Chief Financial Officer, Walt’s Meats

  • “Rod Senft is the ultimate cheerleader and partner to anyone in business. Always building you up, just the right amount of advice, asking questions that make you think, unbureaucratic in the extreme, and at your side through any setbacks. The next generation of Tricor aims to carry this spirit forward.”

    Richard Harris
    Managing Partner, Founders Group of Food Companies

  • “Tricor has helped our business head down a path with clearer direction. They offered us a contact for a Strategic Session that helped up set clear goals up to ten years out, and a plan to achieve them on an annual basis. They even joined the session to add valuable insight from outside the box.”

    Barry Gesell
    President, Eden-Valders Stone

  • “Working with Tricor has been an excellent experience. Their team is genuinely curious about our business and they consistently ask insightful questions that challenge us to improve. Their strategic guidance and thoughtful approach have been invaluable in helping us grow and evolve. We truly value their partnership and the positive impact they’ve had on our business. We look forward to our continued partnership.”

    Matthew Lawrie
    Managing Director, Pacific Rim Storage

  • “Team at Tricor was instrumental in helping 37SB build a strong foundation as we navigated our path to growth.  Expertise in financial management, planning and the support structure for our management team to rely on at all times allowed us to focus on supporting our customers through the post-Covid uncertainties and disruptions.  We knew that help was only a phone call away!”

    Haq Chaudary
    President and CEO, 37th Street Bakery

  • “Different operational strengths are utilized in the business at a local level, providing our services and making the business run. We’ve enjoyed success, but inevitably opportunities for much greater value creation exist that may not be recognized or well understood by those involved in operations. Tricor, with their network, experience and expertise in these areas have really maximized value creation and added the missing pieces for true excellence! 
    Without micro-management of the business, Tricor is involved from anything as simple as a sounding board for ideas, to suggestions of how we might employ new strategy for greater results. They are genuine in their approach to enabling business improvement and the same for the growth of all of the people involved! As I’ve been quoted previously, I wish our paths could have crossed many years sooner!”

    Joe Tompalski
    President, OCTS

  • “I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to partner with Tricor and build Treaty United together. What stands out is the talent, professionalism, and integrity of everyone at Tricor. They genuinely want to make a positive impact, and I’ve learned so much from those I’ve worked with. My experience has inspired me to grow both personally and professionally. Tricor’s impact on Treaty has been huge, providing a foundation of structure and governance that’s rare in soccer but will drive success on and off the field. Their belief in me and my vision is an honor, and I’m excited to continue working together to build a financially sustainable club that brings success, excitement, and hope to the League of Ireland and Limerick.”

    Chief Executive Officer, Treaty United FC
