Ronin Equity Partners Consolidates Refrigerated Display Market with Simultaneous Acquisitions of QBD and Minus Forty

September 7, 2021 Ronin Equity Partners

Ronin Equity Partners has acquired two leading North American manufacturers of commercial refrigeration equipment, QBD and Minus Forty, both located in Canada’s Greater Toronto area. The brands will continue to be marketed under their own names, but the merged group will be a platform for consolidation in the fragmented refrigerated display case industry, where 60 percent of the market is divided between over one hundred family-owned businesses.
