With a complete line of bakery mixes, fillings and icings, and other baking ingredients and products, BakeMark offers both resale ingredients and self-manufactured products through its exclusive brands, which include Westco, Trigal Dorado, Best Brands, BakeSense, BakeQwik, C’est Vivant and Sprinkelina. Its comprehensive line of products enables BakeMark to serve as a one-stop shop for its customers. Headquartered in Pico Rivera, CA, BakeMark has approximately 1,000 employees and operates five manufacturing sites and 29 distribution centers across North America.

“We are thrilled to partner with BakeMark and support the company in its next stage of accelerated growth,” said José E. Feliciano, co-founder and managing partner, and Arta Tabaee, managing director, Clearlake. “The BakeMark investment is a natural extension of Clearlake’s deep experience investing in both the food and beverage and distribution and logistics ecosystems. We believe long-term market tailwinds — including increased focus on supply chain simplification and growing demand for ethnic and specialty bakery products — offer a unique opportunity to invest behind a category leader like BakeMark. We are eager to support the management team and bring together all of Clearlake’s available resources to drive value creation, accelerate organic growth and create an industry consolidation platform.”
