About Us
Clearwater Capital is a private equity management company founded in 2004 on the principles of marrying strategic and entrepreneurial insight with operational excellence to generate superior returns.
Clearwater Capital was born out of a printing and packaging family business that started from humble beginnings and is now almost 100 years old. It has had 4 generations of the Mehta family work and lead the business through the decades.
At one stage in our printing business’s evolution we had private equity investors. We can relate to the nuances of an entrepreneur working with an outside shareholder and adhering to high levels of corporate governance. In our quest for growth we acquired numerous businesses to add scale and diversity as well as started new businesses to enter burgeoning markets. On many occasions this required us to take on prudent levels of debt.
It is these learnings that we utilize to provide insight to our investee companies.
